Level And Add A Rear Block?

[BadStickMan]

 

I dont like how low my truck sits. I like the rake for when I tow or haul somthing heavy it levels out. I was looking at a leveling kit and a rear block. Is there any suggestions? I would like to stick with my wheels and tires for right now. Does anyone have pics with there stock 20s with a level kit and rear block added? Thanks!

Here is a before pic with leveling kit and 20" stock wheels, then I added rear blocks and new wheel and tires.

I dont have pics with my stock 20s but my setup is a RC leveling kit with Firestone Ride-Rite air bags.

It looks nice. I would like to just level it out and maybe later add blocks. On the level kit did you install yourself and how was it? Did the ride change much? I notice on the readylift level kits it comes with a coil spacer and shock spacer and on rough country its just a shock spacer? I did my 2007 F150 and it was just a coil spacer.

Im trying to decide between rc and readylift. I looked at rc and it looks pretty simple how does it ride?

I have the 17's, but this is exactly what I did. You can really tell when you walk up to it versus stock, but not so much in the photo of before and after.

I don't feel the difference in the ride. I definately believe the RC kit would be alot easier to put in the the Readlift and the result are very similar. So cost and ease the RC kit gets A+. compared to the ready lift. But I was trying to also get the maximum height possible.

I highly recommend RC. Easy install and haven't had a problem yet. Ride difference was very minimal.

Ok maybe stupid question but you say the 3 inch rear block does that mean you add the 3 inch block or replace a smaller block already installed from factory?

Removed the original block and added a 3" block, it is not recommended to stack blocks

Where is a good place to order the rc leveling kit?

I just ordered my rc leveling kit.

So has anyone taken off the bottom piece that attaches to the bumper? I was interested in seeing what it would look like. Thanks

This is what mine looks like with the bottom valance removed. I also have the 2" RC leveling kit installed.

Nice yeah I just about ripped mine off today at lunch and it pissed me off that did that and that I would ever half to worry about my truck rubbing on a side walk or curb. It sits way to low in the front so I order my leveling kit and I was thinking about taking the valance off also. Thanks
