Leveling question?
I had my 2018Lariat leveled with 2" Front RC Extensions when I bought it. Factory 20 inch tires.. My query is this. I have put some weight in the back and noticed that it seems to "sag" a bit . I was thinking that I should put in 1 inch rear spacer blocks. Would this change the levelness noticeably? Hind sight says I should have gone 2.5 on front and 1 in the rear. The truck looks great leveled, just want to rectify the slight nose up under weight. Am I being **** about the one inch addition to the rear or is it a waste of time?
Anyone have good advice?

Everybody has their own opinion. I did two inch level and thought the same thing ...up in the front...airplane wing... cleared for takeoff. I had the rear blocks but thought about it a few weeks before I put them in. 2 inch lift, back to factory rake and I’m happy.... to each our own, but I still get 20+ mpg w 2 inch lift and never worry about looking loaded all the time.

Here's mine. Bilstein 6112's @ 2" setting in the front and 5100's in the rear with 2.25" halo lifts replacement block. Factory block was 1.25" so I gained an inch in the rear. Gave me 1.5" of rake for when I tow. Factory rake on my truck was 2.5" Halo makes a variety of different sizes too.

My $0.02: blocks are an OK, cheap solution. A full-length add-a-leaf or airbags are better. Blocks are strictly cosmetic. An AAL or bags improve performance under load. I've noticed no ill effects (e.g., in ride quality) after installing my leafs.
I removed the stock cast 1-1/4" blocks and added 1" poly blocks back in. Click on the build thread in my signature for measurements of height and rake in various configurations.
