So I cranked my torsion bars and gained about 1 11/16 lift in the front. Got Alignment. Liking it. Now my rear sits almost 1 1/2 inches lower. I looked at the pro comp shims which will give me an inch but would like to gain 2". Add a leaf is not on the budget. What would my alternatives be in the shim price range?

 

How about a block

 

You'll need blocks or springs.

How much is "shim price range"?

 

The pRO cOMP shim kit is $32. 4 1/4 inch shims. A 2" block would do it? Any recommendations?

Fomoco, got those 5150s ordered, was it anything difficult to put them on?

My local 4wp has a universal 2" block but since it wasn't specific for my truck wasn't sure it they would work... lol anyone have and idea about these?

 

Nope. I did it by myself, in the dark, with a flashlight and the tires on the ground.

 

As long as it is the correct width and single pin design it should work fine. You could also try ebay or call Autospring.

 

Dont forget to get longer U-bolts - I could only safely add 1/2. I used the Pro Comp Spacers. Gonna stop by and see my local guy to order them so I can add the other 1/2 inch

 

Ford uses a 7/16 center bolt so you want a block with a 11/16 hole because all chevy's and most dodge's use 3/8 center bolts with 9/16 hole so you don't want that block.

 

Thanks for the insight.. I have a feeling they are not the right part. the only one I found so far is by Skyjacker at Summit racing.

 

So I ended up going with the 2" blocks. They were Fabtech blocks, replaced the U bolts with longer ones. Now the rear sits almost 1/2 inch higher than the front.. Looks killer to me and should be pretty level when I tow.. Thanks for all your insight... I'll post pics in this thread as soon as our storm passes though we are supposed to get a dumping of snow
