Should I have Rear Leaf Spacer Blocks?

[MountainStang]

Hey Everyone,

in the near future I am looking to add the ford performance leveling kit. I purchased my truck as a CPO and it was lowered when I first looked at it, before purchase I had the dealership return it to stock height (so they say). I know they replaced the shackles for the standard height ones, but I’m wondering if I should also have the spacer blocks? To complicate things they truck has the snow plow prep package (which I never intend to use)
I just want to make sure when I level the truck I don’t have a reverse squat when setting to the 2.5 level setting.

Yes they are gone as confirmed by the extra long exposed U-bolts.
There should not be that much U-bolts hanging down.
Don't have an answer for your other Q, sorry.

I'm only familiar with this because I plan on pulling my spacers as soon as the weather warms up a bit. I would offer to give them to you but I am going to keep them so that I can go back to stock if I need to or if the future purchaser of my truck wants them.

Is that an aftermarket snubber under your truck? I haven't looked under mine to see if I have one but that would be cool if you have that and it's aftermarket.

I’m not familiar with this. Do people add or remove them? Why do that?

I personally am going to remove them because I don't like the "rake" that it has. That is the slope from front to back.
On my stock rims and tires there is a 6.5" gap between tire and wheelwell on the front.
In the back there is a 9.25" gap between the tire and the wheelwell on the rear.
I'd prefer it to sit more level.
