In-Expensive Lift
ok so i wanted to lift my truck a few inches, and i found some blocks i can buy at AZ for the rear.
As for the front. Ive seen some lift ics where the front shocks just have a metal spacer at the top of the spring. Now is this something i could buy at a local Auto parts store? or are those spacers special order?

one question for you is what size blocks you going with. if you go with a 3 inch block you can use your stock shocks. anything above that and you will need new shocks.\
Also, its called a coil spring space/ leveling kit. very cheap and easy to install, but again above 3 inches and you need new shock, although most companies only sell 2-2.5 inch coil spring spacers/ leveling kit
But here is an epic fail at using coil sring spacers

yea it wasn't going to go morethan 3 in up. i want something small, (i love having a high up truck.) but cant have anything to extreme because i have a 2 month od daughter, and its a pain getting her in now lol.
Also i just put all new suspension on so thats a good thing i dont need to go bigger, because thatwas another one of my concerns. an i take it ill need a spring compresser right?

Be careful, I bought the cheap lift blocks from AZ, they were cast aluminum and lasted about 6 months and one day I floored it to pull into traffic and shattered both of them, spum my rear axel 45 degrees and snapped my rear U-joint. luckily I was not moving very fast or it could have killed me. There was not much holding the axel to my truck. I ended up pulling the DS and limpimg home in 4hi. The good ones are not much more. go to Fat Bobs Garage. com, that is where I got my 2" level kit and 1" rear blockes and Ubolts. Trust me on this one, cheap is NOT better when it come to suspension. That is a DAMN fine Dodge Big Red!!!!!
