Trying to understand rear block dimensions.


I have about a 3" factory rake. 36 1/4" to wheel well at front, 39 1/4" to wheel well at the rear.

Assuming no change to wheel/tire size for simplicity, my understanding would (approximately) be:

  • 4" in the front to bring it to 40 1/4"
  • 2" rear block would bring me to 41 1/4"
  • 1" rear block would bring me to 40 1/4"

Does that sound correct?

2024 F150 Powerboost Crew Cab 6.5’ bed
I just installed a 2” Ready-Lift to my 2024 Crewcab Lariat 6.5’ bed. I also went from factory 275/60R20 to 275/65R20 (basically 33” to 34”).

Before level:
Front: 37 1/4”
Rear: 40 1/4”

After level:
Front: 40 3/4” (+3 1/2”)
Rear 41 1/2”

The level added about 2 1/2” of lift plus 1” tire height for a total of 3 1/2” front. Raising the front also adds about 1/2” to rear not including the tires, which add 1” additionally for 1 1/2” total rear.
I attached before and after. I like it, but I wish I had more than 3/4” rake back to front. I may end up adding 1” to rear blocks.

1.5" lift in the front, Rear spacer blocks removed, but have added Airlift air bags in the rear, which still pushes the rear up for about a 1" rake (at the 5psi min press and no load).

285/65R20 BFG KO3's I do get a slight rub on the mudflaps occasionally a full 2in. lift in the front would likely eliminate that.

Eibach front coilovers backed down from 90mm (collar to end cap) to 70mm yielding a 2" level (wanted to keep some rake when empty).
Wheels are KMC Impact 18's +18mm offset
Tires are 285/70r18 Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws.

Best combo I found to maximize tire size with an aftermarket wheel with no trim or rub under any conditions forward or back.

Nice looking truck - this is pretty much exactly what I’m looking to do.
I have the Eibach coilovers at about 2.5” but running stock wheels and tires and am sick of it.
Trying to figure out offsets and tire size.
Considering either 18 or 0 offset.

Can you share any side pics to see the stance a little better?

I'd recommend the 18mm offset. Any less and I'd have to do some light trimming of the bummer valance and would expect to toss quite a bit more mud and rocks along the sides. These are already throwing enough.
