Level Kit w/ Rear Block

had a BDS 2” level on order but it’s been forever and they’re pushing timeframes back more. Don’t feel like waiting. Thinking of the following and want input on a few aspects.



ReadyLift 2.5 for the front….is this kit any good for a cheap level? Not looking for a Carli kit since I have no big rocks to climb.










PMF 3.5 rear block (1.5” taller than my 2021 F-250 stock rear block). Are my factory rear shocks okay for the additional 1.5” increased height in the rear for the time being?



Pics of the truck this is going on.

Your factory rear shocks should be fine. Here is mine with the readylift 2.5" sst kit, 4" rear block. 37s

I did the ReadyLift Coil springs and 4 Bilstein shocks. I've been satisfied with it. No complaints

I also install AirLift Air bags on the rear since I tow a lot and the truck squatted when trailer was hooked up after the level

Nope, went Bilstein all around. I'm sure the factory rears would be plenty long though.

it would be temporary. And the truck doesn’t do a bunch of serious offroading but I wasn’t sure.

Placed an order for a bds level kit with Fox shocks on all 4 corners…ordered may1 and they pushed timeframe back several more weeks…just don’t want to wait and have it moved again etc.

so I’ll probably put in my 3.5” pmf rear block and use stock shocks until I can get something else.

Great looking rig. What year is it? I am looking for the SST on a 2020. I like the idea of a slight rake and lift. Might reduce the need for air bags.
