I am in a situation where my flat bed is rubbing my tires when I have it loaded up and need to add a little space in there. My original thought was to but some 2 inch blocks to lift it up some but I keep getting mixed storys with block kits on a 3500 2WD. So the first question is, do the 4ws and 2wd rear axle mount completely differently to ware I couldn't use the 4x4 blocks? I am interested in these: but when I called them all they could say is "We don't mess with 2wd so I don't know if they would work" -Moving On

If they do mount differently, any suggestions on getting a couple of inches in there? I know I came to the right place to ask as all my questions have been asked before, usually by the search button, but I came up short on this question on the search button.

 

Think you would be better off with 'helper springs', or air bags, or the timbren helpers. Would keep your bed off your tires better.

I don't think things mount any differently...... but, don't quote me on that.

 

We already have a pretty heavy duty set of helper springs on it. I will have to check but it either the 3 or 4 extra helper leafs on top of the factory springs.

 

How much weight are you putting on that to make it squat that much then? Don't have any broken springs do you?

 

Enough to need a lift kit

 

Lift kits are meant to lift a truck not increase the load capacity. As posted use airbags or more helper springs or stop overloading your truck.

 

I never said i was over loading it, only that I needed more space between my tires and bed. It is expected to happen when you put on much larger tires- maybe it wasnt the most obvious answer but please dont dog on something that you dont know all the facts on.

I really only want to hear about the blocks and if a 2wd is the same as a 4wd.

 

Use air bags. My dad's 6.5 diesel dually is lifted and he runs air bags and he has never squated and he pulls 5th wheels and trailers with it
