2024 rear blocks removed for reverse level look?

[nitrobass24]

No one here can read apparently.

He’s not going for a squatted look just level.
Also the 2WD variants don’t come with rear blocks…

OP just remove it, don’t worry about these clowns.

I don't have a 24, but I can tell you that I love the stance, ride quality and handling of my powerboost with the reverse level. I'm sure most of that is due to the Eibach kit, but I like to keep my ride height as low possible with decently meaty tires.

Don't worry about the fear mongers. Removing the blocks might affect overall load or towing capacity, but unless you plan to be close to the limit I wouldn't worry about that at all.

FYI: my front coilovers are about 1.25" taller than stock and my front fenders are about .5" lower than the rear after settling. I'm very happy with how it ended up. And it rides better than it looks IMO.

Your state legislature passed a law specifically banning taking an inch and a half out of the back end of your truck?

They banned squatted trucks.

They banned squatted trucks.

What state is that?

What state is that?

Mississippi

Mississippi

Add North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia

Weird. That's not a thing in Illinois. Especially to the point laws would need to be passed.

The dumbest thing people do with trucks here are those really tiny, stick WAY out wheels and tires on a way lifted truck. Those are just stupid.

I agree these examples are dangerous.

I also agree the OP isn't looking to do this.

I only want to lower my rear.
Your truck 4wd?
Did you need shims?

Yes, it is 4x4. No shims needed. I only lifted the front 1.25".

I removed the rear blocks on my 2024 xlt 4x4 Screw/5.0/3.73.

Removing the blocks wasn’t as straightforward as others reported on the forum, for me anyways.

The axle would not seat on the leaf when removing the block. I had to use a ratchet strap to pull the axle forward for both sides, with the passenger being the worst. I had to drop the truck pretty aggressively for the axle to seat properly on the leaf spring even with the ratchet pulling everything forward.

No shims. No issues so far, and for some reason the rear feels a lot more stable/planted since. I don’t know if the shock valving is progressive, it could have changed the zone in which the shock operates to a stiffer dampening zone. But it definitely rides a lot better.

Here’s a couple of pics:

Thanks for this info I have a Platinum 22 4X4 and will look more into this.
I don't want to create a problem.

I just recently did this exact block removal you are asking about.
Removing the spacers are not that big of a deal.
On my 2022 Platinum with stock 20" tires and rim, the gap between tire and wheel well was 9 and 1/4 in. Ridiculous. Lowering it did not even anything out but it definitely reduced The rake to not look so stupid.
Highly recommend you doing this. Ignore the naysayers, listen to those of us that actually did this.
