Hello all! I'm going to install a 1.5" block in the rear to help with back end squating when loaded. I have a set of Bilstein shocks on the way, you know the ones that allow for 1" more lift. My question is, if I install a 1.5" block, will this be more than the shocks can handle?

 

youll be fine

 

Thanks!!! Wasn't sure, but didn't think the .5" extra would hurt.....not like I'm going off road or anything......Too bad, I only have a 2wd

Thanks again
Andy

 

no problem, the shocks should have about 2" room.

When you jack the truck up by the frame, the suspension unloads, including the shock. So you have 3-4" of travel above normal operating range. but usually 2" up or down is acceptable to stay in the operating range

 

Thanks, thats good to know..........I appreciate the quick help!!!!
