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.

 

its a lot easier to get to everything with the wheels off. I tried to do mine with the wheels on but it just got in the way.

 

I just removed mine with the wheels on. Just unbolted U bolts and out they came.

 

What about using an aftermarket 2 inch block ?

 

Still looking for thoughts...

 

I left my wheels on and had no issues putting the blocks in.

 

Here's a thought...are you going to need larger U bolts for the blocks ??

 

Yes I already have longer u-bolts that came with the 4x4 OEM blocks.

 

Roger that...
