Leveling blocks or springs..?
Howdy all I have a 1995 f150 4x4 and was wanting to level it out cause I don't use it to tow often at all and It has a little too much rake for my liking. So with that being said how would y'all suggest I go about doin it..? A 2 inch aluminum block or get moog CC844 springs? I know with either way I'll have to get different camber bushings but I'm not too sure which ones I'll exactly need so if anyone could chime in on that, that would be a great help!
Also I already have 33 12.5 15 tires on factory chrome wheels that rub at full lock but i think it's the backspacing on them so I don't think the level will help much with that.
Thanks guys!

Springs aren't expensive:
Then use:
These gave my truck 1.25" lift, but I have a supercab with 5.8 & E4OD, and a few accessories hanging off the front end.

Yes I have the same wheels as you do. I also have the aluminum ones but I'm gonna do a little bit of work to them....

Still need the camber bushings, so you're saving, what $30 to go the block route? I used to bottom out my front end on occasion, but these new springs are progressive rate and have eliminated that issue altogether. Truck just feels more planted without an excessively harsh ride, I'm quite happy I went with CC844 springs. I have Prime, so shipping was free...$67 total for springs.

I drove over an hour away to meet a guy and buy a set of wheels this last weekend only for him to stand me up. I'm looking for more 15s, but with proper backspacing to get rid of my rubbing. I'll find some eventually, but for now I'll just not turn all the way.

While your in there you might as well take a big bite and do ball joints, axle u joints, seals, tie rods, rag joints, shocks, brakes, and if your truck don't have them manual locking hubs... That way your all set for a good true alignment.

I'm personally gonna look for a set of 16s because id prefer a 33 10.5 15 tire but they're limited on options so instead I'll go 285/75 16 and I'll have 10 ply so they'll last for ever on a half ton... And be more options!

Right now I'm replacing the oil pan, gasket, pump, and the motor and transmission mounts.
