Installing rear blocks
Has anyone installed rear lift blocks on their own vehicles? if so how do you go about doing it or what is the best way? Or should i just let the off road shop handle it so i dont break anything

It's pretty simple. Just disconnect your shocks and support the truck with jack stands under the frame. Put a floor jack under your differential housing and loosen your u-bolts. Lower the floor jack until you can get the lift block in and then tighten the u-bolts back up.
Do one side at a time and watch your brake lines, axle vent, and abs wires when you're lowering the axle.
