I have these springs sitting on the floor on my front room- I an getting ready to put them in this sunday- I didn't like the way rough countrys website said these were 100% bolt on- When I got them the instructions say that you have to grind the triangular bump stop off the upper control arm to allow the control arm to come down further-

well i want to bring the rear end up and inch or 2 because those springs have it sitting a good 2 in higher in the front. i know they will break in and settle so i want to put blocks on the rear. if i want 1 to1 1/2inches of lift how big blocks should i buy?

how big of lift springs did you put in cause normaly our trucks are about 1.5" higher in the back stock so youd have to have lifted the truck a good 3.5"s when the most you can do without aftermarket control arms is 2"s. as for the block im 98% positive its a direct ratio ie a 2" block lifts the back 2"s

Finally put them on-

I finally put those rough country 2 inch leveling springs on- My truck is a 1999 2WD SuperCab 5.4- The front end looks like it's sitting just a hair taller than the back- I kind of like it tho- But putting another inch in the back probly wouldn't be a bad idea-
