Front spacers and rear block?

Can i just add a 2 1/2 inch spacer in the front and a 3 inch blcok in the rear for lift?

If so thats a cheap way to get a 3 inch lift on your truck

Thumbs down

You are asking for trouble by putting spacers/blocks in the front! They are fine in the rear, but it would throw the front end all out of wack, and be EXTREMELY unsafe

It depends on what kind of truck you have. Are you talking about a spacer/leveling kit for an 04-06 F-150? If you are, yes, that will work fine.

i have a 2001 screw. Yes im talking about a leveling kit in the front and a block in the rear. The reason im asking this question is that if i were to put a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit in the front i would be higher in the front than in the back. I have measured it. So i just wanted to put a blcok in the rear to level it out. So it would be like a 2 1/2 in front and 11/5 in the back. This will work?

what's this 2 1/2 inch leveling kit you're talking about? Your 01 F150 has torshion bars to adjust the front ride height. tighten up the torsion bar bolts to get some lift. If you don't mind the factory "rake", crank the torsion bars to raise the front about 2 inches, and then put 2 inch blocks in the rear.

The "leveling kits" are for new style 04+ F150's as far as I know.

If you add Daystar or other spacers to your front coil springs, it should put you pretty close to level.
