To each there own I guess but why pay for 4wd and then lower it? At the very least put a level kit on it and keep the stance of a 4wd since you paid for it.

Just my two cents:
Removing the rear block is way easier than buying and replacing the rear shackles. If you are a stickler replace your u-bolts. just remember that if you use your truck as a truck, hauling crap in your bed. Your truck will be nose high when loaded. And it looks douchie when a truck with its *** scrapping the ground hauling 400 lbs.

But what do I know? I say lift it and get it dirty and stuck in the mud...

Exactly. Nothing against the leveled folks but anything remotely heavy 700 lbs+ the noise of the truck will be high. If your not hauling anything or towing anything go right ahead unless of course you want to install rear air bags to counter-act the rear sag if the rear of the truck is loaded down.

I haul my Grizzly 700 in mine all the time and it still looks pretty level to me.

Gives you an idea of what they look like. I had a 2.5" level I believe.
