Front End Suspension Lift

I was wondering if any company sold a suspension lift just for the front end, I just want to put blocks in the back and eventually have custom springs made. The prices on the whole lift is just more than I want to pay right now.

Most lift kits for your truck lift the rear by means of a lift block and/or add-a-leaf so you are not gonna save any money by purchasing lift blocks yourself. The kits that include new spring packs for the rear will cost you more.

Fabtech lift contains a rear lift block, unless they changed it recently.

My six inch pro comp lift on my truck came with blocks in the back. You would be better off putting the add a leaf i hate the blocks.

blocks plus bigger tires plus more power equals:

AXLE WRAP, broken driveshaft, two busted shocks, and a day spent wrenching on the rear suspension instead of wheeling.

Ask ChrisTrucker about it.
