just curious if anyone has a prefrence on what kind of lift blocks to use. Ive got a 2" spacer up front on 4wd shocks and strust... lifted the front about 3", now i need to bring the rear up. Whats a good set, and about what do they run? I figure ill need at least a 2" block, but really im not too woried about rake, i dont tow anything.

 

Why not just get an add-a-leaf or something better than a block?

 

Are you still having issues up front when the shocks are at full extension?

 

biggest reason... AAL's roughin the factory ride

 

Whatyear truck and how tall of a block?

they are all pretty much the same really. But some heights (as i am finding) are hard to find for the 09-10. There are some trick blocks out there too that add a reartraction bar. But are pricey. Hell, Rize wants $300 for standard 6" blocks. Ridiculous but they are the only ones that make that height.

not much need for anything fancier.

 

welp, its not as bad as i though at first. But, there is only about 3/4"-1" between the upper controll arm and spring. Im thinking over Christmas I will take the spacers off and put it on the 2wd shocks that came off it. I have 4wd shocks with the 2" spacer on it. I have been told the 4wd adds an extra inch. Also Im looking at the blocks to catch the rear up to the front, and maybe put a little more weight on the front to maybe get a little more space between the UCA and spring... thoughts???

 

I talked with Kevin at Auto Spring and he said adding a 3" leveling kit to the OEM 2wd shocks will work best and shouldn't have any issues because of the offset with the leveling kit + it will give you the height that you are looking for. I'm still on the fence though, As I may go with adjustable coilovers.
Kevin said they dont list a 3" leveling kit for sale but would fabricate one for the same price as the 2.5" kit.. If I don't do the coilovers then I will be doing the 3" AS leveling kit. Member TJALOHA is having the same issues up front and I gave him Kevin's phone # and is looking into the 3" kit also.

 

hey if you still need it i'm about to swap my 2" blocks for 3" once i get my new shocks for the back, where you at in texas?

 

I'm in wichita falls.

 

With 2" blocks, are new shocks necessary?

 

not really, i still have my stock shocks in the back with 2" blocks and i still have about 2.5" of flex in the shock
