The rear blocks have wings on them for the bumpstops to hit. If you remove the blocks, then the bumpstops will possibly hit the axle instead. If I remember right, isn't the brakeline running on top of the axle?

 

On a 2wd the bumpstops hit the axle so that shouldnt be a problem, but if you were to take the rear block out, I would just leave the front stock and it should give the look you want, if anything a 1inch spacer, also if doing this make sure your lights are adjusted so you do not blind traffic

 

damn southern guy, your wife and sister in law are HAWT!

 

I'm going to leave the decision up to my mechanic. I told him to take a look at it and if it was possible, to go ahead and do it. If he would rather not, I told him that was cool to so we'll see. If it does get done, I'll post some pics up and adjust the headlights properly....

 

Okay, I got the truck back today and had rotors and brake pads installed, new Rough Country shocks all around and Rough Country 3" Lift Coils up front. I also had a nasty power steering fluid leak that got fixed. They weren't able to get the u-bolts taken off, but there is about a 3/4" block on top of the 3" stock block under the leaf springs. If possible, I may try and get the small block out some time, but I'm pretty happy with how it sits right now.

 

I want 2" in the front and 2" lower in the rear also.

Can I remove the 2" blocks in the rear?

01 1500 4x4 quad cab 5.9L short box.

I think I will have to cut the front springs to get 2" there,

Then the 2457516 tires will fill the wheel wells better,
unless I go with 225r16's. Im installing a Daytona wing, and
roll pan. I may go with a little wider tire than most.

see attachment..............

I think I will match some new shocks up with 2" shorter length
extended and retracted. Of Course I'll realign the headlamps....
and get a 4 wheel alignment.



I know everyone else lifts, but we are vertically challenged, and I want the stocker / sport look.


Thoughts?
