Question RCD done. but not level

I finished my RCD lift on my 02 reg cab. I went ahead and cranked the torsion bars because i knew i was going to when i got tires and just by measuring to the bottom of the body i got about 1" maybe 1.5" lower in the rear. So i am wanting to know what size block to get in the rear to make it level. 2in? Thanks

I used a 6" block with my RCD lift rather then the 4" it came with. It leveled out nicely. There are some pics in my gallery.

I'd try a lift block. Did the kit come with just an add-a-leaf or did it also include a lift block?

Then I would replace the OEM 2 inch block with a taller one.

Yeah, if you replace the OEM 2 inch block with a 4 inch block that will give you 2 inches of lift. Blocks are pretty simple, so most any should be fine.

Congrats on the lift trx. Just so I can try and keep up, a block is basically a body lift right? I'm still wet behind the ears.

No a block goes between the leafspring and the axle.
