3" ReadyLift Blocks Added
 
This past Saturday I got the 3" blocks installed. It was a bit of a PITA, but worth it in the end. Problem was getting the spring/block/axle seat aligned. Required a come-along and a BF hammer to make it all come together. Otherwise it was an easy install. Didn't make a huge difference in height, but I could tell when I sat down in it that it had a little rake back. Actually seems I can see a little better over the hood. Just a little different seating position. I'm really happy with the results as the truck looked like a dog dragging it's arse before, IMHO. Have a look.

I think it's got just enough rake now to make it look right. Gonna help alot with pulling a trailer too.

Thanks for looking and opinions,

Looks good, what do you have for the front end? I just ordered the 3" Readylift front and the 3" readylift blocks. hopin my 34s won't rub anymore

2" AutoSpring spacers up front. The 3" may give you the rear "squat" like mine had before. Plus most recommend against the 3" due to the ball joint angle being too severe and causing excess binding and wear. Those are 295/70/18 Terra Grapplers on mine. They measure just under 34" on the truck at 45psi. There's no rubbing at all.

Looks good, I would like to lift the rear of mine too.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The install could have been alot easier, but still not terrible. I made it harder than it had to be. I should have picked a more level spot to work. The rear was on level ground, but the front was flexed and had some stuff in a bind. A nice level surface I'm sure would have made it much easier.

Looks good man but i dont see how you had any troubles installing a block in the rear. But then again i had my truck on a lift and then also used floor jacks underneath the axles too keep it in place lol .
