1.5 motofab 1" rear blocks

roadkill5.3 · June 10, 2017

anyone with a 1.5 motofab and 1" rear block?

i searched pretty good and only came up with 1 picture of a 1" front and 1" rear block. looks good but not high enough up front.

debated 2" but i want to keep close to the factory angles (steering, suspension, and driveline) ive seen angles of 2-2.5" and im not crazy for them. its my opinion, please dont hijack debating angles.

i just want a clean, small lift stance with close to factory rake. ive seen the 2-2.5" in person, dont get me wrong, they look great, but not enough for me to own one that high. and im 24, not a 60 year old man like im sounding...lol

i have a 2016 silverado dbl cab 18" rims. 5.3

thanks guys!

Mine has 1" front end lift, stock rear block. 1.5" front end lift will still have about 1" rake. 2" front end makes it about level, 2.5" kits need an inch added to the rear.

As for the 60 year old comment, I'm 60, bet I could kick your butt at anything and everything except bull riding ,just guessing on that one, never actually tried riding a bull !

Good luck with your search buddy.

I also have the 1.5 MotoFab (not installed yet) for the same reasons you stated. I believe our trucks already have 1" (+) blocks so you are looking for blocks 1" over stock size. My intention is to use airbags or an additional leaf in the back if I don't have enough rake when hauling. I am in my 60's though so you may need to reconsider your plans! (lol)

Wonder what happened to Mr. Green '93, hope we didn't hurt his feelings!

no feelings hurt over here! you have to really try harder than that, ive got thick skin which grew from where i work and the all people i deal with at work. i get more shit from my 8 year old cousin than you guys!

ive found a couple of pictures of the setup i was looking for but with no rear blocks.

i have 36.5 up front and 39 in the rear. so i should still have 1" of rake. measuring to the top of the wheel wells.

too busy drinking beers and playing with the stihl kombi.

ill be ordering the motofab 1.5 kit, and ill install it my next day off, been working 7 days a week, on call week nights and weekends, so my next free day ill post some pictures of it.

dont let the thread die out, if you have any pictures to contribute for the 1.5 level, post them please.

Measurements you got are same as others (including me have posted) for stock, difference of 2.5" rake. 1"-1.5" up front makes a big difference in apppearance. You'll be fine. Motofab uses a top spacer (??). Installed a 1" kit (1/2" thick lower spacer) on mine, other than loosening the sway bar links, I didn't touch the ball joints. Was able to pry up on the shock and slipped the spacer right in. I think to install an upper spacer popping the ball joint is a must.
