When I first leveled my truck I liked it. Then I put a slightly larger block in the rear, then a while later I put an even larger block in the rear. Then I lowered the front slightly, then a little more. Now I'm back with the original blocks I had in there and am never touching it again.

It's really easy to keep switching things up. Haha.
I kind of thought that initially as well, but I measured from the tires and the rear is 1/2" more from the tire to the fender.

Blocks, yes. I wouldn't want to have to pull the strut all the time though!

The kit I have as a 1" block to add to the factory one. Some think it's fine, while other's say you should not stack them, rather replace the 2" with a 3".

Having switched yours so many time, what are your thoughts?

I never stacked blocks so I can't comment on that. But I went from a 2" to a 2.5" to a 3" and then back to a 2.5" and finally back to the 2". I went full circle.

Blocks are very easy to swap. Truck doesn't need to leave the ground and the wheels even have to come off. Just jack one side at a time by the leaf spring close to the axle.

After putting Bilstein 5100 shocks on mine, front sits 1/2 higher.

Gonna replace my 2" rear blocks with 3".

Is it ok if it's leveled in the other direction?

Need to shorten those chains to keep them from dragging, and possibly causing a wildfire.
