Remove the block in the rear. You can't raise the front anymore, unless you buy a REAL lift kit.

You can get a 2" add-a-leaf for the rear and sell the 3" block ? because as zman said you can't lift the front anymore because your lower control arms will be too short to correct your caster angle.

you cant lift the front more than 3'' without getting longer control arms. so you need to get a 2'' block for the rear and keep your 3'' spacer up front. or get a lift KIT. period. like zman said...

You can get buy with new coils and control arms. It shouldnt run you more than 300 or 400 bucks. Or drop the rear block down to a 2in like suggested before.

PM = Private Message. If you click on a members name, there will be a drop down menu, the second option is: Send a private message. There is a notification panel in the upper right, that tells you if you have any new notifications, including PM's, so, when they respond, there will be a bold number there, in place of the zero.

Check out Top Guns Customs for some inexpensive lifts.
