After i put my 2.5" level on, my front sits exactly an inch higher than the rear. its now gotten to the point where its bugging me enough to do something about it.

Personally, i think blocks in the rear are kind of cheesy and not such a great idea (potential to mess stuff up maybe?)

but im having trouble finding an add a leaf for just 1" of lift. is a 1" block going to be my only option? And if i do find a 1 inch leaf, i think it might stiffen up my rearend even more than it is now.

lastly, when i installed my leveling kit, i put the stock coil spring isolator on top of the spacer as per the instructions. what if i just took that stock isolator off?

 

had the same problem. put the 2.5" on and it was about an inch higher. to be exact its probally about 3/4 of an inch. my 1" block i put it made the back very very slightly higher in the rear than the front, but imo thats better than nose up. the 1" block didnt harm my ride and was very easy to install...thats what i would do. or if you want it perfectly level and you have the tools for it...shave off some of the block to get it around .8" rather than 1".

 

Blocks can be an issue if you try to use too much of a block. I'm not a big fan of the 6" suspension lifts that use blocks instead of leafs to save money for that reason. A one or two inch block is not going to be a big deal or much potential for problems, when you start getting into these 4" blocks to level a 6" kit, I think you are leaving yourself open to potential issues...

 

thats why most of our big lifts 8" and up utilize springs and blocks so the blocks arent too big, but as long as theyre somewhat small theyre not too much harm if at all and its a nice way to gain a few inches

 

ok cool. that all sounds good. but blocks arent going to affect my payload any are they? i dont really see how they could.
