okay so i just bought a 3" leveling kit and installed it on my 2007 ford fx4. and it still looks like i have a 6" lift kit in the back! is there a difference in the 4x4s and lariats vs. the fx4's? are there smaller blocks available to put in the back??? please help

i just went and measured the blocks and they are 2" blocks but it still sits high in the rear. and i have the fatbobs 3" aluminum spacer sooooo idk wat the deal is??

ok you put a level up front and left the back stock and it is still that much difference?

get a 2.5" spacer, and take the blocks out lol 3" (from what Ive heard) is bad. But youre lucky, my friend has an 08, and his is saggin now, and its only an inch higher in the back than front. Thats with no kit or blocks

Don't take the rear 2" factory blocks out unless you never plan to offroad. They come standard on all 4x4s and contain the bottom contact plate for your bump stops.

Okay so negative on the removal of the blocks. Wat now? I mean, apprently its just my truck. Personally i wld like it to sit about 1" higher in the front without havin to install anything more than a leveling kit. Like i said the 3" from fatbobs didnt do it. But are some leveling kits larger than others?? Im new to coil springs, im used to torsion bars that crank up as high as u wanna go. LOL, okay so again what are yals suggestions now?

Might have been asked but did you have the truck aligned after getting the leveling kit installed? All the kits I've seen have said that you won't see the true "rise" in the front until an alignment is performed.

I think it is a truck by truck thing. I also have a 3" leveling kit up front and completely stock in the back, and my nose still sits lower (06 4x4). I have been looking for a way to lift the front even higher, but the control arms already make contact with the springs when off roading. Sorry I dont have a real solution for you, but you are not alone.

So i was thinking about replacing the 2" blocks with a set of 1" blocks i found on ebay. They are actually sold to b a lift kit but they have the holes and studs in the same place as the factory blocks. I was thinkin about removin the 2" blok out completely and just leavin the 1". Watdya think?
