Default 2.5 up front how much should i go in the rear

I'm about to do the 2.5 inch lift up front but considering on lifting the rear as well but don't want a huge rake. I found a new block that proryde makes it goes from 1.0 to 1.5 to 2.0 inches

I did 2.5 front then added 1" in the back or a 3" block taking the old oem block out. I think the back might be 1/2" higher than the front but I can try and find u some pics when I get on a real computer

Hey Matt, I did 2.5"s in the front and 1" in the rear. Haven't put a tape measure to it but it looks dead level. This pic has my truck on the left (pre-new tires) and a stock version of my exact truck on the right. Btw both are 2wd but I believe (and by believe I mean not sure) the ratio of difference from rear to front is the same on 4wd. Hope this helps give you an idea.

With 2.5 up front and not putting 3 inch rear block in my nose was higher and i could feel that when i drove. If you do 2.5 upfront buy the readylift 3 inch blocks is cheap and easy to do

This is with my 2.5 level, front is about .5 in higher. Already did a 3 in block in the rear (need to take pics), has a little stagger now.

To the op, what year is your truck? 04-05 generally require 2.5 to get level and 06-08 2 inch is enough to level. There may be exceptions, but that is usually the case. I have two inch with my 06 and it sits level.
