Rear block question (quick answere)

Hey guys, dont mean to rush, but about to leave my house and no access to this site from here.

So my question is my F250 has 2 inch blocks in the rear. Can I go to a 3 inch block without having to change my shocks? Im not a big fan of the leveled look, and with towing that extra inch in the back would be just what I need to drop it to level when towing.

You will be fine. You will need new U bolts.

My 2.5" blocks worked for 200k before I replaced them just two weeks ago. Do yourself a favor and get the 3" wide ones. So nice having less axle wrap.
