'09+ 4x4 w/ 2007 2" Rear Blocks PICS

After installing my Autospring 1.5" of lift the truck sat a tad nose high.....I ended up getting a full 2" of lift out of the "leveling kit"

So I found a member (MedalHead) selling his stock 2007 rear blocks /U-Bolts off his 4x4. They measured 2" vs the 2012 ones that are 1.25"...... I bought some NeW nuts and proceeded to install them tonight.

Turned out GrEAT....gave me a little rake back! Measuring from the ground to the bottom of the stock trailer hitch receiver I got 18.5" BeFOrE the install, after it measured out to 19.25". Measurement from the top of the tire to the top of the fender is exactly 8" in the front and rear now!

Highly recommended when doing ANY leveling kit.

Thanks man....
After a couple days of driving I can say that the truck rides MUCH better! Before it had a slight vibration and the truck felt kinda like it was floating a bit....

AFTER, the truck is nice and smooth at speeds and the vibration is gone. Much better handling. I think it had to do with the air flow over the truck (or under the truck with the stock rear blocks)
Not that it really makes a difference, but the MPG are about .4 better as well. Over all a better driving experience! A MUST do for anyone looking to add a leveling kit IMHO....with a 2.5" leveling kit I suggest a 3" rear block though!
