Default Level by removing the rear blocks?

Great Forum... lots of information.

I just picked up a 2010 F150 (4-door with a canopy) 4x4 XTR. With the canopy the back wheel well sits about 1.75 inches higher than the front. I want to level the truck out and fill up the wheel wells with a larger tire. I really like the look of the 2" front level with 34-35 inch tires, however, I have small kids and wife who doesn't need it any higher.

My thought was to remove the rear blocks (drop the back end about 1.5") and put 33-34 inch tires on it. Is it as simple as that? Has anyone on this site done that, and if so I'd like to see some pictures... especially straight on from the side and front to get a look at the stance.

Thanks

I would like to do this also, But instead I want to keep the 32 " tires already on it. I will never put a heavy load in the bed because I have a trailer for that. So I don't think I need the rear spacer block. Right?

Removed the rear spring blocks/spacers from my 2009 STX (that got traded-in for the current 2011 FX4) ...

GET SOME STEPS and go with the front level and tires! Seriously a few inches will not be noticed getting in and out! Now a 6" lift with 35+ tires is another story!

@ gDMJoe, that grill looks great painted black! I may copy!!!

gMDJjoe... Nice truck. Are those 20" rims with 33" tires?
