Default 2.5 Rough Country Level - Rear Blocks?

I have an 06 FX4 that I installed a 2.5 Rough Country level a few months ago. I love the kit but the back of my truck sits so high that it didn't completely level it. I am considering removing the rear blocks. I know this may be a little overkill but the back would only be lower than the front by 1-1.5 inches. Are there any negative effects of removing these and what are your thoughts?

it can not that much higher.. you should be within a half inch.. just change the size of your rear blocks for the difference... are you sure the PO did not install bigger blocks... 2.5 level should be real close for your FX4.. post a pic...

It is close but it's not quite level. I've been thinking of either removing the rear blocks or installing a 1-2 inch adjustable rear shackle. What you think?

if you remove the rear blocks you will be noise high.. swap the rear block with a half inch smaller set
