NEVER EVER EVER STACK BLOCKS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Stacking blocks are for hold crates up NOT TRUCKS.
If you value you life or even care ahout your family or anybody besides yourself. DONT STACK BLOCKS.

Not to sound insensitive or mean but are you retarded?
Stacking blocks is extremely dangerous. U-bolts do stretch. Stacked blocks will come out.
If you were my friend I'd smack you. Then I'd take your truck apart and show you how to do it right.
I don't know you. I don't care if you crash. I really don't.
But I'm pretty positive somebody cares if you die.

Bad bad bad.

Of course now you'll argue about how fine it is and its been like that for years blah blah blah.
But some dweeb will see yours and think they can too.
Next will see two six inch blocks stacked together.

Ooh I got a foot lift.

Fix your damn truck.

if you buy a kit from roughcountry or skyjacker or some company where that's all they do it comes with a new block that's bigger than stock to compensate for the old one its not to stack on the old one or anything. if its a 4 inch lift its 4 inches higher than stock ride height its not adding 1 from stock, when you buy a kit it comes with new ubolts that are bigger than stock, may even come with new shocks depending on which option you buy or if you decide to splurge it has new leafs all the way around and eliminates the block thing all together. that's the costly option though

Well don't be so sensitive. Sorry then.
But really. Fix it.
How you got it has nothing to do with how you drive it.
Unsafe is unsafe.
Money? Many ways to fix it free or even really cheap and correct it.

Ok. Let's put your truck right.
PM me. I'm a Journeyman Welder by trade.
Maybe I can help fix your truck. I hate unsafe vehicles like that. Maybe I can help.

I agree that even though I got it this way is not much of an excuse and in no way arguing with you thats its not safe.

If you were closer Id might take you up on that

A couple sticks of welding rod and 2 beers (roughly 20-30 min, for non-drinkers) should do the trick.
