    sounds like with a 1" block, it should level it back out....and that is about as high as i would want to go with a block. Have you looked into an Add A Leaf instead? Sometimes abbreviated "AAL", it will probably ride better than a block, not much more in price either, and very easy to install :)

    I have the same setup with a 1.5" block and the rear is about 1" higher than the front.

    What you need to do it messure from the ground to the fender on the front and rear. If the rear is say 39" and the front is 41" then you need a 2" block

    You should always measure from the center of the wheel hub to the fender, helps when comparing to other peoples measurements as different size tires don't factor in then.

    I've looked at the leafs but none of them offer any sort of taper to keep the driveline angle correct I ordered the 1in block from lro last night I'll try to post some before and after pics do you guys know what the torque specs are for the u bolts

    ^^^ This dudes correct, do 90. After i had my leaf packs changed out they were torqued around 70 ISH and i had some major vibrations at 30-40 mph. Torqued then myself and havent had a problem since.
