Alright, I have the doestch (sp?) spindles that I want picked out (3.5"), but I don't know what lift blocks to use, or where to find them. I want 3.5" blocks because the truck is already leveled, but if I can't get 3.5'" I'll settle for 3". These are for a 97 2wd. Does anyone have links where I could find these? Are they hard to install? Will they change the ride quality? Don't want to pay a fortune for them either, more like a best bang for your buck kinda thing. Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks fellas

doetsch sells kits with blocks you can just call them up and theyll set you up

 

Problem solved. Do you know anything about installation and ride quality?

 

cant comment on ride quality but they are a simple install, just unbolt the factory ubolts add the block and new ubolts

youll probably need longer shocks too

 

^for a 2in block would ya(whoever) need longer shocks?

 

I have Doestch 3" blocks and absolutely no use for them.. just saying.

As for ride quality.. I would say that there was not much difference at all when I had them on my truck. I am running 5" blocks right now, and all I could possible say is different is maybe its a little bit more stiff. I have no problems with them at all.

 

I was looking at the 3.5" spindles for my 97 and saw that the 3.5" is for 98-03 and they only make 3" for the 97's. If you order from doestch you will have to get the 3". I would check out Spring Tech and RCD. Spring Tech has a kit that has 3.5" lift spindles, 2" coil spacer and a 3" block for the rear with extended shocks for around $550 and its for a 97.
