Who has done 3" rear blocks?

I'm looking at these here I'm not completely happy with the way the rear still sits with the 2" front kit. It appears lower, and too much air in the 'bags isn't a nice ride. Thinking of asking Santa for these, and maybe this will look good enough to keep me from lifting it any higher....( maybe) Any advice?

Seriously? Not ONE member has done a 3" rear block? Chandler, help me out here buddy. Anybody in the 04-08 Forum done these? I just want a pic maybe and some positive input I'm not wasting a C-note.

Hey Tim. No one has done the 3 inch block down there. A few have added a small 1 inch block though. Coskid did a 3 inch front and added a 1 inch block to the rear to gain a touch of rake.

I was just searchin', thanks for the reply. I thought I read somewhere, and I've seen kits with, 2-2.5" front spacer and 3" rear blocks ( poor mans lift kit?). I've seen them for sale as a kit on Ebay also. Did he stack the 1" on top of the factory block? B/c I thought about that also, maybe someone has added a 2nd factory block on top of the existing one, but I'd rather not stack blocks. Even if it is only ~1.5", I would rather buy a single 3" block for $100 and I think it would be more aesthetically pleasing also. Maybe I need to be the guinea pig here

Here is an Autospring kit but has a 1.5" rear block. I assume they stack on top of the factory one.

Tim he did stack the block. I for one am not a huge fan of that, but it does work. What's the factory block height?

Mine measures like 1 3/8". If I do the 3" block it will give the wheelwells a level stance, as my front to the top of the tire = 8" and the rear is ~ 6.5"- 6 3/4". Here is a 3" kit free shipping for $90 I just might get it and put it on over Xmas vacation

I've had the 2.5" front/3" rear blocks from autospring for a couple years and 55,000 miles now. No complaints. Sig pic is without the rear blocks. Factory blocks measured 1.25".

Ah-hah! I thought I remember someone had done it. Do you have any "after" pics? Yours appears to sit higher in the rear w/o the blocks than mine, but I think its just the way mine's parked sometimes. It just bothers me, so I'm going to put the 3" blocks in the rear and see how it looks. I guess I'll need to re-adjust my headlights again also Thanks Brad,same to you! I will, unless I'm getting pressured from the better half for time, haha!

I don't have any after pics but trust me it looked goofy as hell with just the front done. Headlights to the sky. Now it looks perfect with just a slight rake.

Cool, thats exactly what I'm looking for. I'm still up in the air about a 3" BL, I'll see what it looks like after the rear blocks are in. Thanks for the replies brother!

I'm stuck between the 2" or 2.5" front with the AS AAL. I have also considered the Rancho level kit with shocks. Any thoughts?

Rancho's loaded Quick Lift is a nice system. Adjustable ride settings too: soft to firm.
