Default Lift opinion.

I have the oppertunity to buy the coil springs, rear blocks and u- bolts out of a 3/4 truck for $180. I don't know if I should do this or not. I was thinking about just buying a leveling kit from HBS for $65. What do ya'll think? I wasn't sure if the 3/4 ton was a good deal or not.

is the 3/4 ton a gas or diesel? My understanding is that the diesels have a little more height in the front, but its going to be a rough ride if you put them on a 1/2 ton. If you want to keep your stock ride quality, I'd go with the leveling kit

If its a normal 01, then i'm pretty sure they're gonna be 3"... i'm not 100% sure on this, but I think the Off-Road 2001's have 4" blocks
