Default thoughts on stacking rear blocks when leveling

Ive been searching around trying to figure out the best option for myself while lifting/leveling my truck. Im looking at putting either 285/65/20s or 295/65/20s on so going to go with either 2.5 or 3inch if possible.

My question is what do you guys think about rough country just stacking an additional block on top the the existing block on the fx4 package?

or possibly any other options out there that i may not have looked into..


On a side note i dont plan on spending more than $1500 if coilovers are the best option. would rather just use blocks if possible.

any thoughts or suggestions would be fantastic.

Stacking blocks is ghetto no matter what the circumstances are. Go to f150lifts.com and get the right size block.

Why would you need to put anything in the rear if you're trying to level? Wouldn't 2.5" level it out?

I went with the combo from F150 Lifts. 2.5" front with a 2.125" in the rear. Here is what you get:




This is with 285/65/20 tires. Rear is 3/4" higher than the front

because i would like the rear to be left a little high so i dont have the "california lean" when my quad is in the back. I guess i better way to put the question would be this then.

Does anyone know how big the current block is on the fx4?
