2wd Rear Block Install ?
2011 xlt 2wd.
I recently did a front level and truck ended up being nose high. I have purchased and plan on putting in 4x4 OEM blocks to bring up the rear a little.
I found in the how-to section, how to install rear blocks, but this requires removing wheels/tires and placing vehicle on jack stands, etc.
I'm okay with doing this, but thinking about it, is there a reason you have to remove wheels/tires and place the vehicle on jacks? Can't you simply unfasten u-bolts on one side without removing wheels, use a jack (on leaf springs) to get enough clearance, slide block in, refasten u-bolts, and repeat for other side?
Just want to make sure I'm not over-simplifying something.
