Smile Rear Blocks

Been a member for a while and now I have a question, as far as I can get from searching the block on the rear of an FX4 are 1.5''. Am I correct? Was wandering cause I want to lift my 2wd to roughly the height of a leveled Fx4. I think I got the front figured out by going with Pro Comp ProRunner or Rancho Quick Lifts. Any help is great and Thanks

I have a 2005 FX4 and I can confirm the stock was a 1.5" block. I replaced mine to 3" blocks due to my leveling kit being too high. With your 2WD, you should have no blocks is my understanding. So yes, the FX4 does come with 1.5" if that's what you're after. Remember, you'll also likely need U-Bolts that are longer as well.

04-08 have a block just shy of 2", more like 1-7/8".

The 09+ have 1.25" blocks.

Actually... I was wrong, Z7What hit it. I don't know if it's because I have an FX4 or not but mine our 2" almost spot on. Somewhere I had read they were 1.5" and I thought they were but I never actually measured mine when I swapped them with the 3" blocks. See the attached picture.
