I can see you pulling off 2" blocks without new shocks. I would not go anywhere drastic lift wise with stock anything though. Why didnt you get new shocks with those lift spindles?

mhockey- its a 2wd, they didnt come stock with blocks at all.

and brad, I dont know. I didnt see the package thing...i just got the spindles. but if need be I can always buy some shocks, no problem. and since I have 1in blocks now....the bolts were the same length for the 2in blocks and 3in blocks. I just got the 1in blocks to go along with my coil spacer back in the summer, didnt really plan on going any farther....but that disease is getting worse and i wanna be higher. I need to go measure and see if ill need 2in blocks or 3....if I need 3 then....youll get a PM

Cool man, just lemme know. These 3" are going ANYWHERE I can assure you.

Just wait till you start getting up there and see a truck with 35s next to yours.. You will have a body lift on that thing in no time.. trust me

Hey man, thats cool too. Wish I could justify the 5grand to pull that off. I must say though, I have seen some pretty big pre-runners in my time. Get some of those guys running 38s on like 18" of travell.. its just sick! Anywho, just lemme know about the blocks and whatever else

Uhm geez idk. Cast iron or steel I would assume. They are somewhat heavy for their size.
