Could you tell me where you got your 2" Pro Comp Blocks at and maybe a price. With the 2" on the back and 2.5" on the front does your truck still sit down in front or is it pretty level?

Do you have any more before and after pics of all you lifting and leveling?

One thing I'd like to ask you is if you've experienced any problems as stated below. This snippet is from another thread. Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing JPdadeo, when I look at the 4x2 compared to 4x4 stock the 4x4 already has the upper control arm at more of an angle, about 1- 1.5" lower, so I dont know how they get away with the 2.5" spacer. The 2' caused serious problems on mine just going slowly over speed bumps. I noticed the same thing from the pictures, the difference is hardly noticable, but with a tapemeasure there's 3/4" difference.

Howdy.

I got my 2" blocks from 4wheelparts, they ordered them direct from pro comp. They ended up costing me about 100 bucks. The rear of the truck is taller than the front, but not by much. I bought the blocks due to the fact that I haul dirt bikes every weekend to go ride. When I have 2 250's and 1 90 in the back, it rides perfectly level.

Yes, with the 2.5" autospring, the knuckle does bump the coil spring, only on full extension. Whenever I hit a large bump, it does hit the spring, but it isn't anything bad. I know some people will tell me it isn't safe to run it like that, but having friends that know suspensions well, and are studying automotive for a career, they both told me that it won't be that big of a deal, just a "rough" ride. My vehicle before my 04 was a 1976 Jeep CJ7, NOTHING will EVER ride as rough as a 76 CJ with 8 inches of lift and 36" tires. To me, my truck still rides like a dream.

4Wheelparts doesn't have crap on their site. Best thing to do would be either call Pro Comp, or go to a 4WP retail store. They will be able to order them. It's a tough part to get ahold of, it took them nearly a month to finally get all the parts for mine in.
