Default Who makes a quality yet reasonably priced 2" block?

Thanks, guys. I checked out a few other threads and found a few trucks with 2" level in front and 2" blocks in back. That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for. That said, who sells a quality yet reasonably priced set of 2" blocks? I want to order them ASAP so that they can be installed at the same time as the spacers.

BTW, I'm looking at $150 to install the spacers and blocks (without alignment; my buddy owns a shop and is doing my alignment for free). That's pretty fair, right?

Thanks again!

So I finally installed the Zone 2" front levelling kit today on my 2013 FX4. The entire project took me about 3 hours (2 hours on the drivers side and 1 hour on the passenger side). Not that the drivers side was more difficult, I just had it figured out by the time I got the passenger side. Overall it was a very easy installation, the instructions were very clearly detailed making it difficult to mess up. In terms of alignment, I drove it around the block a few times and it seemed to run true. However, I have scheduled an alignment at my local Ford dealer tomorrow morning to be safe.

For those interested, I am running stock Toyo Open Country AT2's in the stock 275/55R20 and have no intentions on going bigger. Even though I absolutely love the look of 33's or 35's, I can't stomach the increase in fuel to run the larger tires.

Pre-alignment measurement as follows:
Front: 39"
Rear: 39 1/4"
There is a very slight slope on the road where I took the pictures so I'll assume there is about a 1/2" rake back to front. I'll confirm the final heights tomorrow after the alingment.

Cheers
Frank

Thumbs up Pics of my leveled 2013 XLT 4X4 SCREW

As promised, below are some pics of my leveled 2013 XLT 4X4 SCREW. Thanks to the good folks on this forum for their input and suggestions. I went with 275/70R/18 BFG All Terrain KOs (to avoid noticeable changes in MPGs) and a 2" HBS leveling kit. The tires fit fine without the level, but I like the extra height. I've ordered 2" blocks for the back from Supreme Suspension to put back a very slight (.75") rake. I'll post another pic when those come in and are installed. I also found a set of chrome mirror skull caps at AM Autoparts Service that install just like the OEM caps, but they were $32 shipped for a pair. I think Taska had them listed over $50 per cap. They installed easily and look sharp.

Pic on day one with stock tires and no leveling kit...



Pic after I got the BFGs, but before the leveling kit...



Pic after I installed the HBS 2" leveling kit, but without the rear blocks...



So what do you think?
