Add a block to rear end. Won't hurt to stack a small block in there at all if you are currently only ruining a single block in the rear.

You just buy larger blocks for the rear, avoid stacking blocks.

Yes, I can buy a taller block but that would make axle twist or wrap easier. I think adding a leaf may be the way to go. It will add 1.5", and not compress as easy and can run the block that Rough Country provides.

You can add a leaf but your ride will suffer will be much rougher ride. If your using a 4 inch lift going to a block that would be used on a six inch lift well not cause you significant axle wrap. There are ways of curing that too if we're severe. As I mentioned in another post one question I have is. Would using an add a leaf cause the rear end to hop with how light the new trucks are? I've used many add a leaf kits but only in my off-road trucks and much older trucks at that. If you go add a leaf update us as to how well it worked out for you. Good luck with your project.

Default 4” Rough Country Kit

I just had this installed on my truck today. Right now the front is sitting almost an inch higher than the back. I called Rough Country and asked about it. They said the truck will settle and level out in a month or so.. has anyone had this experience or am I getting the run around? I definitely don’t want the front higher than the back.

Ive been told the truck does settle a bit, however, mine was level after installation and still sits level after a year.

If you don’t mind checking. I’d like to know what your truck measures from center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender
