The truck came from the factory with blocks in back. I think they were something like 3 to 5" tall. Personally, I am not a fan of lift blocks. They give the axle quite a bit more leverage on the springs, so, 'axle wrap' becomes a real issue. The shackle flip is an excellent idea, and I would be tempted to go with different springs as well, and eliminate the blocks entirely.

 

Did both, Bds shackle flip kit, think it lifted it 3".not positive been a few year's. Rear leaf packs are Sj 5" softride. Blocks are F350 drilled for pin offset to recenter the diff in the wheelwell. U-bolt flip, custom shock mounts and other stuff.

As for my truck, getting ready to drop it down to 7" lift.

 

Picked it up from hail repair a few days ago. Liking the new hood, also switched to painted flares.

 

Damn, that looks nice. Do they not use salt on the roads by you? Mine is only a year old, but, the tin worms have really taken a toll, and it was ziebarted when new..... Got it in 2017..

 

They blend it with sand or put down a beet juice brine (ND produces a lot of sugar beets). I only drive my truck 800-1000miles a year. I have a daily driver car to keep my truck nice since my truck is just for personal stuff. Ever since I got my AWD R/T charger I rarely need my truck for getting to work in the winter. My drivers fender is trash beneath the flare, I have a good one on a parts truck just pushing it off as paint is expensive (hood was mostly covered by insurance from hail). My box sides are surprisingly good, same with passenger fender. I POR-15'd my inner box sides, through the tail light hole. Helps my truck only has 83k miles.

 

how did you do those 5th gen emblems in the hood?

 

Sorry didn't see the reply. Had a professional cut the holes in my old hood, he happened to work a the body shop that did the hood so he cut the holes in the cowl hood as well.

 

that is a super clean truck! I remember when mine used to look like that lol. I just picked up a new rear bumper but I have to cut through the rusted bolts to put it on

 

Hope I don't get in trouble for say's this...That is one Damn fine good look'n Dodge!!!!!
