2010 Rear block size

What size rear blocks do our trucks have, I have a 2010 FX4? Im looking to raise the rear of my truck up 1-2 inches. Any suggestions on what I should use to accomplish this?

My 09 fx4 blocks measured 1 1/4". I replaced them with 3" blocks after I lifted the front 2.5". The truck sits just slightly higher in the rear.

No. I mean the stockers measure 1 1/4" tall and I replaced them with 3" tall blocks from Autospring. I never measured the width but I believe they are 3" wide. From what I have read the 04-08 blocks measured 1 5/8" tall. I'm not sure if all 09+ trucks get the 1 1/4" blocks or if it's just the ones with the 4 leaf springs. Ford lengthened the leafs for 09 so it might be all the f150s.

Mike at AS told me my 2010's were 1 and 5/8.

Quote from AS site.
Due to popular demand. Auto Spring Kits now has available a 1-1/2 inch rear lift block/u-bolt kit for the 2004 -2010 F-150 2wd or a 3 inch lift block/u-bolt kit for the 2004-2010 F-150 4wd (the 3 inch lift blocks replace your factory 1-5/8 inch lift blocks)

Well I suggest you crawl under your truck with a tape measure if it's important to you. Mine are definitely 1 1/4", but maybe your truck is different, only one way to be sure.

I went out and measured mine as well. They are 1 1/4" tall. I wonder what my truck will look like with the 3 inch blocks, reason I ask is I only have a 2 inch leveling kit on the front (Hell Bent Steel).

Bronco did your truck look good with the level kit and rear blocks, with the factory size tires? I'm debating the same setup but don't plan on buying bigger tires yet.

Thanks,

I thought I posted a pic but don't see it so here it is again. My 10 with AS 1.5" front and 3" rear block. It raised the front 2" and rear 1.5" so it is almost the factory rake. I liked it.

Front and rear spacers:

So you were able to fit 35's with just a block in the rear and level kit.......interesting, but you have stock rims which helps the rims I want are 17x9 so I would probably have a rubbing issue if I went to 35's with just a level kit (sorry thinking out loud).

Your truck looks sweet.

yeah, I had it on my 07 and just swapped it over onto the '10. It actually fits with less rubbing on the new one.
