if i go with rear blocks i would just be stacking them on top of the ones i already have correct? would i need to get new u bolts and the screws or would they use the same ones? the same with the AAL they would be stackin on my current ones correct?

do us all a favor, and stop w/ the bumps every other hour. some of us have work, school, etc. sorry to sound like a ****...

anyway, to answer your question, i don't really like stacking blocks. if possible, try to get like a 5.5'' block. new, lift leaf spring packs are expensive, and may not be within your budget.

however, whatever you do w/ your blocks, yes, you will need longer u-bolts to compensate for the added block height. search locally. a local shop should be able to bend new ones for you the length you need.

the AAL will work w/ your stock leaf springs, correct.

personally, on my setup, i am running a 6'' fabtech, and 3'' body lift on 35's. i am running no blocks in the back, and am using atlas leaf springs for my 6'' rear lift.

if you offroad, you're really not gonna like having that much block, as ***** already noted...

I wouldn't stack blocks and I would try not to run blocks at all, just for a larger lift rear spring

Only the 97-03 4x4's use torsion bars. The 4x2's have coilsprings.

Add me to the list as well. Also would consider painting that bottom rocker panel as well. Truck does look good though.

What are you the forum ****? You're not a mod so don't try and do their job. A bunch of other threads show you bitching about the post location; give people a break and grow up a little bit.


Anyway,

Truck looks good bro.
