Default 2004 F150 Rear Blocks

I have a 2004 F150 4WD extended cab STX. I put a 1.5 inch lift on the front and now I have a slight Cali lean of 1/4 inch. I have looked and it appears the smallest rear blocks are 1 inch which would give me too much rake. Any solution to level out my truck?

does your truck currently have factory 2" rear blocks? A 1.5" level shouldn't make you taller in the front.

Either someone took out your factory rear blocks or the level you put in is larger than 1.5".

What were your before and after measurements?

I have the OEM 2" blocks installed, but I think the springs are down a bit after 200K miles.

Agree with 08 XL.. 1.5 in the front with stock blocks in the rear you should still have a slight rake. Post up some pics of what you got.

Possible. Did you take before and after measurements? Super important but no one seems to do that.

You could get a 2.5" block back there which would give you 1/4" more in the front, which wouldn't be noticeable.

It's mainly only noticeable when the rear is lower, as it looks like it's sagging.

I have been looking for either a replacement 2.5" for the stock block or an additional .5" to go on top of the factory 2". My Google searches have have only shown either 1" blocks or 3". I do not have the resources in my garage to mill my own blocks so I was looking for an off the shelf solution.

While this link states 09-14, I can assure you 09-14 use the same type of block as 04-08.

This would work for you.

Those would add 2.5" on the stock blocks by looking at the picture. That would bring the total lift up to 4.5. I only need .5" of additional lift.

You don't add them on top.

You remove the current blocks and replace with these.

Stacking blocks is not the best thing to do anyway.
