Anybody remove the rear blocks on a 4x4? Can you post pics if you have. Thanks!

I've seen it some where on here, it's a black platinum. Looks great, still has tiny rake which is good.

I remember seeing that a while back too. Tried searching on here but couldn't find any pics.

Who would lower a 4x4?

I would..... I'll never take my truck off road and I think it'll look better so why not? I'm not looking to slam it to the ground. Just want the rear a little lower.

It's taking the rear block out to before bring it to 2wd height, that's not much of a difference. Like the OP I rarely go off road, so having the rear end a little lower makes it a little easier to load and unload the bed or reach over the obnoxiously high bed sides to get something out of the bed.

OP, I took my rear blocks out and it was really easy to do in driveway. I took mine out because I installed the RAS and it raised the rear end an inch or so. Taking the rear block out took it a little lower than a stock 4x4, but still higher than a stock 4x2.
I don't really have any pics, but like I said, I have the RAS, so they'd be different than what you're looking for anyway. If you do a search you should be able to find a couple of threads on taking the blocks out, but I say do it.

Thanks Joe. That's what I'm looking for

Thanks man. I'll take em out. If I don't like it I'm sure they'll go back in just as easy

Any concerns with the leafs resting right on the frame? Rust, seizing together etc? Is there a 1/8 spacer available that could prevent that?
