yes, today me and a buddy of mine put these on a 03 dak 2wd qc. you can buy the blocks for the rear blocks at autozone for $30.

its basically a body lift.

edit: and no it does not have to be professionally installed. although it would be best to do it with some friends that know a but about trucks.

They will work BUT I would highly recommend using rubber spacers and NOT aluminum.

And as long as you have the tools and knowledge to pop a ball joint from the spindle and slowly lower a spring you should be able to do it. Note: it will be harder to get the spring back in with the spacer than it was to get out.

Oh and I bought the aluminum blocks from autozone for the rear of my truck, BIG MISTAKE! just a heads up.

complete, about 5-6 hrs spread over 2 days to do. i suggest getting new front shocks from auto zone. do the front first because it may be level with just that and you will have the clearance for the same size bigger tires on both front and rear and yes you will need an alignment after.
