Default bigger blocks

So as I put before, i want to be able to put some more height on the rear end of my truck, especially since my u-bolts are about 2 inches longer now than before, so I want to have blocks that are about an inch and a half taller, my problem is that I dont really want to stack blocks, and I was wondering if any of the dodges had taller blocks than the 1/2 tons like mine?? Does anyone know this? I know I need to get a 2.5 inch and not the 3 inch which is what the 3/4 ton hd's and 1 tons have on theirs... but what about a normal 3/4 ton?? anyone know?

This is the 6 inch lift I am going to go for:http://www.extremesuspensions.com/st...cat=270&page=1

I think that that looks like a nice lift for a pretty good price only thing is is that it doesnt say that it comes with a drop pitman arm so I will have to pick one of those up if it doesnt.
It also comes with the double shock tower setup!! Im pretty excited for that!

And call and see what kind of steering system that kit comes with. If its the one I think it is (pictured), than its junk. I thought they quit using that style steering, but who knows. It doesnt even use a drop pitman arm. It has a few cobbled-up crossbars to make it work without one... and I have heard nothing good about it.

As far as the rest of the kit... you should get lots of flex and a great ride.
