You'll have to have the block custom made and get some longer u bolts. (any machine or spring shop can handle this)

My 4x2 came with a 1in block in the rear from factory so you might want to look into that as maybe a cheaper possibility. I think they started doing this on '07s.

You removed that block to make the rear sit lower at first?

Yea I removed the block and added a 2in drop shackle to level out the truck at first. Then went another 2 inches front and back later on.

Like an '04-'06 4x2 lol. If your truck is going to go down instead of up then just go for the 2" shackle since its a cheap mod and evens the truck out front to back.

If Black3V doesn't remind me in a month by that time I should have my truck and if I can get the back to look even with the front by removing that block it's all yours.

Actually you could probably go to the local parts shop and pick up a couple sets of blocks for 4x4 lift kits.
