2" RC is in, now rear blocks?

[latreille89]

So I got the 2" RC installed. I'm thinking about lifting the rear an extra inch just for a little rake and so it sits level if I load some wood or tow. Anyone know what I need to do and order? I know there is stock blocks there but I'm assuming those come out and bigger ones go in.

I installed Rough Country 3" rear blocks when I did my leveling kit. It has the factory rake back in it, just sits higher now. My truck sits level with the dump trailor connected loaded with 1/2 ton of coal.

 

I ordered my rear blocks from Rocky Mountain Suspension Products..........Rough Country Part # 6564 .........$45.95

Remove the OEM blocks and U-bolts, install new ones.

Thanks. I think that's what I'll do come April. Easy to install?

I went 3" on mine

 

Stock are 1.25"

 

Not bad to install

Yep, take factory blocks and hardware out. Install new blocks and hardware. It's easier than doing the front level kit if you ask me. I did the 3" rear block too. It gives 1.75" of lift (factory block is 1.25") so it sits with just a hair less rake than stock. I tow some toys and don't like complete level unloaded or nose high when towing.

Hey SouthCo, what size tires are you running?

[SouthCo]

I run 275/55/20 which is the oem size for the optional 20" wheels. Thought real hard about going 275/60/20 but didn't. Here's a pic with my other set of 20"s with new tires.

 

Well for some reason the pic didn't post...

Still cant get pic

[MB2008LTZ]

SoCo, I have 275/60/20 tires with the RC 2" level and the RC 1.25" body lift. It sits pretty level butsometime when I look at it, It just looks likes I could go higher in the back. Don't really want to go 3" block, Is there anywhere to get 1.75"/2"...?

[SouthCo]

U can get 1" lift or 1.75" of lift with rear blocks thru readout. How much lift do u want?

Leave the stock block alone. I got 3" rear blocks when I put my 2.5" CCM on, but I hate the rake now. Wish I had left it stock...don't know what I was thinking when I put those on haha.

 

Leave it level. It looks 100x better

 

 

Well when I'm towing an atv and have another one in the bed, I don't want to look like a ranger dragging its rear end on the asphalt. I don't mind a rake, I really only put the RC on for a bit of lift in the front end since they sit so low.

I agree with you Patrick.

 

Frogfish, it takes less than an hour so why not swap the stock blocks back in if you really don't like the rake now. From looking at your pic you have no rake. Actually looks a tad nose high but I know pics can be misleading.

[Big Whiskey]

I agree that these trucks look much better leveled out. However, I hate the nose high look when towing or hauling something. If you're still wanting rake, but not as much as factory....then replace the stock block with a 2" or 2.5"...for .75" or 1.25" of lift in the rear.

Why not run helpers instead of riding around in a truck with rake all the time? Truck sits level at all times, even when loaded and probably ends up riding better while towing also.

I don't mind a rake, cheaper to ad blocks than helpers
