You can find 1" blocks on feebay! If you have a 4WD with stock blocks that are about 1 1/4", you can simply stack the blocks. Since our nwer trucks have 2 pins its not as bad as stacking the older blocks with 1 pin! I have a FX2 with a 2.5" front level so I bought a OEM 1 1/4" rear block from a site member, should be here Friday!!!

My truck sat a little nose high for my taste after the 2" front lift as well, so I found the answer with a set of used 2007 4x4 rear blocks to replace your stock ones.
the 2007 Stock 4x4 blocks are a full 2" vs the 2010+ stock ones that are 1.25

It will give you a true 3/4" more lift in the rear.

That's exactly how I got them..... I saw another member who had replaced theirs with a bigger set an offered them some money for their stock ones and u-bolts.

This site is great and people help each other out here, so take advantage of it.
I DO RECOMMEND that you buy your OWN NEW nuts to put on the u-bolts. Nylon Locking are only about $.50-$1.00 depending on the quality of them. And your also gonna need washers, the stock nuts have a larger base so they do not need them, but once you buy new nuts they usually don't come with the larger base, so get washers.

So heres a question. I see some of you guys using the level/lift kit, and others using the bilstien 5100s. My question is can you achieve the same effect of a 2 inch lift/level that you can with the 5100s? I know its cheaper to go with the level kit but I am thinking in the long run, I am going to need to replace the shocks on my truck anyways (only have 28k on a 2010 so far) so I am wondering which is the best way to go. Thanks. My goal is to stuff 285/55/22s under it which are 34.37 inches tall. Seems like plenty of people have done it with a 2 inch level/lift.

How much did the 35's affect your gas mileage on the ecoboost?
