Leveling question

My truck (67) sits high in the back. Will 2" blocks in the back level it out? I'm happy with the height in the front. I have the coil rear suspension with the helper leaf. The wheels will be replaced with 20" or smaller (these are 24's).

thanx

Re: Leveling question

Depends on what the measurement is from the ground to the fender lip! Have you measured it yet? If the front is 3" lower than the back, then a 2" block won't do it, and you'll need a drop spring instead. It may only be an inch lower, then you'll just need a 1" block. Time to bust out the tape measure.

Re: Leveling question

Ok, I feel stupid. of course.

In my defense, I was away from the vehicle and had heard that from the factory they were 2" higher in the back.
