Need 2" Added to the Rear

[stich]

I need 2" of lift added to the rear of the truck to make it sit level. I currently have the Rancho 4" lift but it just doesn't sit right. I measured the wheel well space between the tires. I know I need a steel spacer for the rear end but who makes them and where to get them? My local suspention shop wants $200 to add the spacers and extended U bolts and I think thats kind of pricey. Any help? Oh, it a 2001 if that make a difference.
Thanks

What did your Rancho lift come with to lift the rear. If it came with another lift block, I don't think I'd add another one. You could use an add-a-leaf. I agree, $200 is too much to install lift blocks.

buy the block and do it yourself if you want a block. take about 30 minutes to do both.
if you want an AAL (this is what i did) its easy to install to. about 2 hrs to do both.
- i like the AAL because it stiffened the rear up a bit and rides better IMO.

i had enough room to use my same u-bolts from my lift kit. i actually have enough room still to add another AAL later on down the road if i want to.

The rear doesn't have any blocks added on now so I guess that the lift was done using springs only. That being said, where's the best place to buy lift blocks and longer U bolts?

i would call rancho and see what they have available if you want to keep all rancho on your suspension. or consider calling fabtech or pro comp.

check with rough country. i got my 3 inch blocks with botls for $50 for my 98 f150

You should be able to install new blocks and U-bolts yourself. If not, then we have bigger issues.

Thanks, I'll try Rough Country and also Rancho for the parts. I'm sure it's an easy install so don't mind doing it myself. I understand that the blocks a different for the 05 and up rears. True? Also the places I checked had the aluminum ones and I heard thats not the best blocks.
