A.S. front and rear installed

Had some trouble installing them myself so I just took them to my friend's shop and let his guys do it. But by the end of the day here they are. 2" spacer on the front and a 3" block on the rear (replacing the stock 1 1/2" block). There will be some more pictures in my gallery later. If you want hi-res pics shoot me an e-mail.

Wow. Big difference. Can you take a picture looking straight towards the side of the vehicle when you get a chance.

I have a 2.5" in front and a 1.5 in the back. Up from a stock 2wd it looks pretty nice.

I have the 2.5 AS up front and a 1.5 AAL out back. I love mine too, now I just need the money for some new shoes to put under there.

Not a great photo since the sun was in my face. But, here's a side shot.

looks good where did you get your 3" block? And did you keep your rear stock shocks? Ive always heard that you are supposed to buy new longer shocks when adding more lift. Im thinking about the rear block myself.

Looks good, but isn't the factory block 2 inches not 1-1/2 inches?

No, when installing a 3" block you're not supposed to have to replace the shocks. Of course they may be limited out and will wear out fast. We'll have to see.

I bought the block from AutoSpring's e-bay store. Same place you get the spacers for the front. Just over $100 and you do pay for shipping on them where the fronts have free shipping.

As for the factory block. Everything that I've read says that it is 1 1/2". never actually got down there a measured it though.

Thanks just tough to tell from that shot! But I do like it. I think I may start with the 2" AS up front then decide what I'm going to do with the rear. I may go with a helper spring.

Look at AS's website, they have a 3" block so you don't have to stack.
