Not to beat a dead horse here but I have a question about a leveling kit I had installed. It was a front and rear kit. When I measure from the ground to the middle of the wheel well my rear is 2.5 inches taller than my front which I think is causing it to look too raked. If I take my stock rear blocks and reinstall them which are 1.25 if I'm understanding this correctly I should still have 1.25 inches of rake? I appreciate any responses.

Thanks

You stacked a block on top of your factory block? What size block did you add? Or are you saying you replaced the factory block with a taller block and are considering pulling the aftermarket block and installing the factory back? If so, what size is the aftermarket block? Yes the factory block is 1.25".

I would never stack blocks no I replaced my factory with one I believe the rear block is a 2" that came with the kit it's a motofab kit.

2" Block puts you 2.5" higher in the rear. Replacing that 2" Block with a 1.25" Block would lower the rear .75".
2.5" minus .75" is 1.75" rake after replacing the blocks.

I think that would look alot better the rake is kind of ridiculous right now.

This is my truck right now after the level kit

What motor do you have? Yeah, I agree the rear is pretty high. On my 3.5 eco boost I had 2.5" up front and stock blocks and it was level. My 2.7 eco on the other hand needed a larger rear block.
