4 inch blocks?

I have a 99 2wd. I like the factory stance and I do not want it level. The fabtech spindle lift level it out and I do not want this. Is there anyplace i can only order the spindles? And then 4inch blocks. I will be adding a 1- 1.5 inch coil spacer on top of the spindles. So i will be running about 4 in the rear and about 4.5 in the front. Would this be ok?

Thanks!
Travis Clark

I know i'll have to order different shocks as well. Is a 4 inch rear block going to make my ride suffer considberlly? I am probably going to get ranch 5000's or the Rancho RSX. Would i be better off going with an add-a-leaf that gives 1-2inches of lift and then 2or 3 inchn blocks?

Paco,
You are probably better off going with a 1 1/2" add a leaf together with a 3 inch block. A 3 inch block should be angled for proper pinion angle, so you may end up with about 2 3/4" of lift. Add your 1 1/2" leaf and you have about 4 1/4" total in the rear. You ride will be a little stiffer in the rear with the add a leaf, but not bad. If you go purely 4 inches of block, your ride won't get any stiffer, but you will be prone to axle wrap under hard acceleration, as you are increasing the lever effect. Good Luck..

You can spindles only from AIM for $249 they also have a reverse rear hanger kit that gets you 2.5 to 4 inches of lift.
