Hey guys, I know a couple of people have messaged me about pics of my truck. I installed an AS 1.5" front level & removed the factory 1.25" rear blocks. This left my truck sitting exactly 3/8" high in the rear, which you can't even notice. I remembered to take some pics this morning with a curb & fence line in the background for level reference (note the curb under my running board & how it stays basically completely level from front to back), if you look real close, you can see it just start to nose down ever so slightly as it gets to the front of my running board. Sits perfect for me, I towed a 3K trailer recently & my truck still stayed 1/4" high in the rear with it hooked up, so I was happy.

Yeah, the 1.5" level up front is all I wanted because of the extreme CV & ball joint angles that a 2" or 2.5" kit cause. I bought 2wd U-bolts for the rear when I took out my rear blocks & reused the lock nuts. Very easy to do & way easier on your front suspension.

I think I will copy cat as well, it will make it easier for me to reach over into the bed at the same time.
I am not currently able to look under my truck but I'm assuming you are saying that the four-wheel-drive F 150 has a 1 1/4 inch block over the axle and all I need are the 2 Wheel Drive U bolts is this correct?
Thanks!

That is correct, the factory 4x4's have a 1.25" block in between the axle & leaf springs. I went to the dealership & ordered a set of U-bolts for a 2wd F150, you can reuse the lock nuts that come off the old ones. You can really re-use the old u-bolts, but they look like crap with about 2" of thread hanging down below the axle. The 2wd U-bolts are shorter, they're made for axles without the blocks. Bolts cost me about $25.....so $80 for the front level & $25 for a set of rear u-bolts & some elbow grease & you'll be sitting pretty
I know it's been a while on this thread, but do you have the part numbers for the rear ubolts for 2wd. I'm wanting to remove my rear blocks as well.
