PMF 2” reverse level blocks

I recently purchased and installed the Precision Metal Fab 2” reverse level blocks. They have 1.5” that is nearly completely level, and 2” that has a bit more rake, and I went with the 2” because I wanted slightly more rake since I do still tow loads, even though they’re light compared to what this truck is capable of. Very happy with the end results and their customer service was great. They were eager to answer a couple questions I had and were very knowledgeable about these trucks.

2017-19 Ford Superduty Reverse Level Block Kit-PMF-17RBLK

this is installed on a 2017 250 with the max tow package. Unfortunately I didn’t think to snap a before picture!

The tires are Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/65R20 on stock (powder coated) wheels if anyone is interested.

Looks good! I put the same PMF blocks on my pickup as well. Still debating what tires to go with....running the OEM Michelin’s now.

I went back-and-forth on what size and kind of tires I wanted for a long time. A local shop was having a sale going on and I was about to buy the Wild Peak in the factory size when I noticed these sitting off in the corner as a display. They stopped carrying Ridge Grapplers and went to Terra Grappler and this was the last said they had. It’s approximately a half inch wider and a half inch taller than the stock tire and I got them for about half price!

Terra Grappler G2 in a 295/65R20 is what I have in mind, but I keep seeing mixed reviews. I know they’ll look great, but I’m concerned I won’t like how they drive compared to the Michelin’s.

Did you happen to take any measurements beforehand? (ie tailgate height, wheel well height?)

Do you tow with this and what squat do you see if you do?

I'm torn between 2" or 1.5" w/ airbags.

I measured everything when I did the swap and it was about 1 3/8 lower at the wheel well 1 1/4 at the hitch. My travel trailer weighs about 6500 pounds and the truck squat about 1/2 an inch, but I do use a anti-sway weight distribution set up. So my squat when set up isn’t a good indication really. I went with the 2 inch block because even when I’m not towing a trailer there still several times where I put somewhat heavy loads in the bed, and there’s barely any rate with the 1.5 block so I one of the 2 inch block to ensure my front end wasn’t sticking up too much when there’s a load in the bed..
