Yea that would sit close to what mine looks like. I have a stock block and AAL and cranked T bars. I have pics with stock tires and 35's in my albums with that set up.

Dont do that, do not crank your tbars all the way up it will ride rough and hurt cv angles its just a shotty way to do things. Then if front sags your rear will be higher bc of the added 3 inch block.

Maybe tweak them about an 1 inch to level, or find some new keys for the front and add a small block in rear if your truck is not level as is now.

Aftermarket keys crank the bars over what the stock do so it will make the cv angles worse than just cranking the t-bars will do. And the ride isn't that much more rough than stock.

Their freakin universal blocks at autozone, what do you expect. Def go for steel over those. Looks kinda cheap too when you see a big shiny block with a bunch of black steel under the rear.

Why a 3 inch on a 2wd? Even with front lifted/leveled youll have tremedous rake with 3 inches in the back.

Not necessarily. I have 3.5" lift spindles up front and 3" blocks on the rear with less rake than stock.

When you put a 3" block in the rear you are only lifting your truck 1" higher than stock. The stock block on the F150's is 2" so you are not adding 3" to the truck just 1".

That is true for a 4x4. My 2wd (and those I've seen) didn't come with any rear blocks from the factory.

If your 2wd didnt come with any blocks and you want to level the rear with a 2.5" front level kit I wouldnt go with a 3" block. I would go with a 1" block, at the most a 2" block otherwise your right, the rear would be way to high.
