Rear lift blocks with 2.5" level???

Anybody adding 3" rear lift blocks to their trucks when leveling? I have heard some reports or sagging rear ends when hauling or towing (some even just sitting lower period) after leveling their trucks.

I tend to pull boats all summer and snowmobile trailers all winter, so just curious what you guys think.

Am i better off to do the install then decide if they are needed after?

I have a 2.5 in the front and Firestone RideRite air bags in the back. I'm running 20psi in them now and I think it's level but have to go out to a parking lot and make sure.

If you tow a lot, maybe you should look at the bags, just do a search for ride rite.

I just added the 3" AS block to my truck this past weekend. I did the 2 1/2" AS two weeks ago and the back did sit slightly lower at the tune of about 1". The back is now slightly higher, I will try and get some pics today, its pretty crappy out though so ignore the mess.

2006FX4 I would love to see a pic if you got one. I just added a 2.5" AS leveling kit and am thinking about adding a 3" block to get a little bit of the rake back

The pics in my gallery are with the 2.5 AS front/AS rear block combo with 35"BFG KM2's. I have since replaced the blocks with the Ride Rite air bags.
