2.5", 2.25", or 2" Level on 4x4 w/out lift block or 2wd

Hi everyone. First post here and looking for some info. I just bought a 2015 and I can wait to get started making it "mine". I posted this on another forum without much help.

Like the title says, I'm looking for before and after pics, measurements, or experiences from those who have installed a front level from between 2"-2.5" on either a 2015:

- 4x4 w/out the stock rear lift block

- on a 2wd (Same as 4x4 w/out the stock rear lift block.)



I ask because I want to take the block out of the rear of my 4x4 and add a level for three reasons.

1.) I want the truck to be as close to dead level as possible.

2.) I plan on adding airlift ride control, and i want the axle to be closer to the bump stop than it is with the block installed.

3.) I plan on fitting a 34" tire on the truck.


Thanks for any help in advance.

To me if looks like once they get over 2 inches taller in the front the rear looks like it is sagging.

You should measure and see what you want. You plan on running a 275/65/20? I run a 275/60 with stock suspension and absolutely no problems.

If you add a 2-2.5" level to the front and remove the rear blocks, you're absolutely going to be nose high. Just add a level and leave the blocks. Or, remove the rear blocks and leave the front as it is.

No need to remove the rear block if you are going to level the front. Air bags will still work with the block.
