After 2.5” “level”. 1” block or no?

[DukeCanBuildit]

My 2019 FX4 has a RC 2.5” level kit. I have a canopy on it and I think it sags just a bit in the rear.

After seeing this post I’m thinking about doing the 1” shackles in the rear, do I have to get new rear shocks?

Reading the install it shows discarding the old shocks.

Install "level kit" and then add height to the rear?

Yup. ??‍

This was my experience with my 2-1/2” level with a canopy as well - along with my tools, the weight of the canopy (200 lbs) sat the back down a bit. When I swapped out my level kit for FOX Performance all around, my solution was to leave the coil overs at their 2” factory setting.

So, yeah, I can see why some people have the need to raise the back after a level kit.

1” RC rear block done. Very happy with it. Exact height I wanted. I have no spare and gas light is on so this is as high as it will sit.

That looks great, nice rig!

Do you plan on painting the front skid?

What level kit do you have? I have bilsteins set at the max, 2.5".

And where did you order the shackles from if you don't mind? Seems like they're $150 across the board.
