Default full 3" lift is installed...

finished the back. i added the 1.5" blocks on top of the stock ones... top gun customz said it was ok. also the added block has a pin so it locks into the other block and can't slide or move, so it looks pretty solid to me. also added a new steering stabilizer... holy crap what a difference! no more binding spots, steering is a lot smoother. my old stabilizer was bent horribly, didn't notice til i pulled it off.

watch those blocks carefully. I have always been told since day one to NEVER stack blocks or block a front axle. especially stacking the rear, with all the back end hop on trucks and axle wrap. I would just keep checking them, i guess to make sure they are still stacked straight and tight.

Why install blocks? an AAL can be had for $50 or less.

well when you ask them (top gun) about stacking blocks they make it sound like its ok because they 'lock' together..... and it very well may be safe. but at least you KNOW its safe with AALs.

it isnt safe. Dont let any one tell you that.

In my opinion the stock block is tto high to begin with.
