Default Leveled 2011 Limited.

So I have to purchase new tires soon.

I was talking to a shop that suggested pulling the blocks in the back to level it out.

Anyone done this? Pics?

Any thoughts/ input. Potential problems?

I do not tow so I'm not worried about that.

Thank you!

There are no problems with doing this. Just more potential for sagging when towing or when loaded up. Here are my before/afters on my 2013. I did this in September, super easy to do and you can reuse the same u-bolts. Just make sure you are on level ground other wise you might need help rolling the tire a bit as you drop it down to get the posts to line up. My driveway has a very slight angle and as I brought it down, the holes no longer lined up (by 1/16 or so). Easy to fix by rolling the axle forward a hair as you drop it down.

thanks. It doesn't seem like it would do much but it does change the overall look a lot. Cheap, scratch that, free mod!

Thank you very much for the pics. I think it looks great! Think I'm going to do it with new tires that are one size larger to fill the wells just a little more.
