I still can't believe this is a 3" rear block....looks like the 2". I was gonna get the Motofab 2.5" front, 2" rear kit

It's a bit deceiving, cause there is about 2" of rake. But I tow and don't want it nose high. Prefer this look

Has anyone had any vibtation issues with the added blocks ? Ive read a bunch of negative posts on them .I rwally dont care for the lack of rake after adding the front 2" RC level to mine . Been contemplating adding some blocks to the rear but dont want to end up with vibration problems.

No problems with 2" blocks

To the people that have done the 3" rear block, are you using shock extenders?

 

Back story: I totalled my 09 Ext Cab Std Box a month ago (basically got PIT by a box truck that came into my lane) and bought a brand new 2018 Crew Cab Std Box a couple weeks ago.  The 09 had the 2.5" RC lift kit except I only installed the 2" bottom front strut spacer and not the .5" top spacer.  I was running 20x10 -19 with 285/55s.  I had to do some cutting and still rubbed a little at full turn.  To alleviate some of the rub, I was going to add the .5" top spacer and bought a 3" rear block (with shock extenders) to keep some rake (my research showed more than 1" rear lift required shock extenders on the GMT-900s) but never ended up doing the install.

 

It looks like the 3" block I have will work with the GMT-K2xx trucks, so I'll just buy a 2.5" leveling kit.  If I need extenders, does anyone know if the ones for the GMT-900s work on the new trucks as well?

I have not done this yet.  Haven't had the time (I am an accountant, tax season just ended yesterday).

 

I have looked into this further and the .5" top spacer I have won't work on my new truck.  The new truck has the stamped steel control arms.  The spacer I have can only be used on the trucks with cast control arms.  I will probably call Rough Country to get more info and see if I can swap the un-used spacers I have for the spacers I would need for the stamped steel CAs.  If they won't do that, I will look into other options.

 

The truck is still 100% stock.  In the meantime, I am going to start working on other things.  I have it scheduled to be dyno'd this weekend to get a baseline.  I have a CAI that has been waiting a couple months for the baseline dyno to be done before being put on.  Want to get exhaust and tune done too and somewhere among all that I want to do tint, tonneau cover and sidesteps.
