Default Rear lift Block quick question

I ordered a 2 in leveling kit... Now should I do 1in or 2in rear blocks?.... will 2 in be big for current brake lines?

Do you want it to be level or maintain the rake after the leveling kit install? That will determine if you need a 1" or 2" rear blocks. I would wait to after the leveling kit is installed and driven around for awhile to allow everything to "settle". The take some measurements and determine the size of lift block you need.

With the 2" kit, it should sit level, like Jkeaton says, after it all settles. My front dropped a bit after a while and I'm glad I didn't put blocks in.

Lol NVM^^^^..... I installed the leveling kit and Holy $&#! does it have an opposite rake now. Went to Autozone today and bought some 2in blocks for the rear suspension. I will post some pics of the truck once I get new tires.
