Doing it again, I would go with a 2" block instead of a 2.25". It provides the perfect rake to make the truck look stout while still giving you the ability to tow without sagging. I recommend halo loft blocks.
see I’ll be on stock struts and have 2.5” front spacers.. think a 2” rear Block would be better out back ?
I plwbt on upgrading shocks and struts next. Just want this ridiculous factory rake gone. Plus I want to get done 33’s

why not just measure the rake on your truck and figure out which one would be best for you? My understanding is that it does vary per individual truck.

This seems to make the most sense. one size doesnt fit all.

I guess it depends on how particular you are about the look you are going for and your needs. Someone already posted a good rule of thumb. I read every page of this thread and compared measurements cause I wanted to know exactly how much rake I had and what to expect. If you are particular like me, you will find a way to measure it yourself.

My 2018 Screw has a front MotoFab 2.5" leveling kit installed. Added 285/75R18 - 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the stock wheels. Sits very level.

No tire rubbing at all. Have a good inch of clearance at full turn either direction.

Just had the tires installed yesterday.

1st pic: Stock
2nd pic: Bilstein 6112's at 2.1", 5100's rear, 2.25" replacement rear block. This raised the truck 2" in the front and 1" in the rear. Rake is now 1.5" vs 2.5" stock.
3rd pic: BFG KO2 275/65r20's installed. Truck now sits an inch higher overall with new tires.
