    How many inch is this spacer? Currently there is a spacer in front and nothing in the rear. The front is 1inch higher than the back. I was told a 1.5 block in rear would level it out. Not sure but that math doesn't add up to level in my book, but I could be missing something. Pretty sure I have calculated the front being one inch higher correctly. I dont want the back end higher than the front. Going for as level as possible. Thanks. Chase

    Looks like you are getting about 2" lift out of that. The actual lift height is not the same as the spacer.

    More than what I was wanting to spend on it. I use this vehicle for a DD and hunting. Never for offroading intentionally

    Then at least get an add-a-leaf for the rear instead of a block. A block lift will make the ride in the rear rougher and possibly cause axle-wrap.

    If the front of your truck is truly sitting an inch higher in the front, then I recommend a 1.5" add-a-leaf.

    Here's a thought

    Measure the front
    Measure the back

    The difference is what you need to add

    I got that far but haven't found a 1inch AAL and was told the smallest block you can get is a 1.5 inch. But thanks for the "thought"

    On 99% of stock trucks the rear is naturally higher for when you have weight in the bed of the truck, so .5" in the rear wouldn't look unnatural compared to 1" higher in the front. I suggest just getting a 1.5" add-a-leaf and call it a day.
