Proper Rear Block with Icon 5.5" lift

captjoe · Aug 9, 2014

I have the following:
2007 Ford F 250 Harley Edition

New Lift Kit getting installed
Icon Stage 2 4.5" with 1" front spacer = 5.5" total front lift
In the rear I ordered the Icon 5" leaf springs.

Question what do I use to for the rear. I'm looking for a level stance.
I'm thinking of adding a 1" rear block and call it done.
The stock I think is 1 1/2". My guess. I have not measured it and I'm out
of town so I can't do that myself. Also do I need to add any shims to get pinion angel correct and of so what would it be ..( 5 degrees?? )

Definitely interested in this. I have search all over and can't find a straight answer.

If I go without any input I'll get a 1" and see what it looks like. I don't mind a little rise in the rear but not as much as stock. I don't think a 1/2 block is available..

You need 7" total in the rear to get it leveled, the stock 250 block is 2 5/8"

You're the man thanks.
I'll add 2 1/2" block form Metal fab to my list

Sorry poor math 2" block should do it.

Do you recommend just putting the stock block back in and be 5/8 higher in the rear or go to another smaller block. Not sure If I could tell the difference when looking at the truck if it is only 5/8 off...
