Default Rear Lift question?

I got my front levelling kit, now, I'm looking at raising the back just a bit... 1 inch block only...

Any recomendation or company that would make them or which hardware do I need...

Appreciate any idea.

You could run into autozone, get the 1/2" U-bolts, nuts, washers and 1" blocks all for about $25. The U-bolts fit perfect, there stainless which is a plus. The blocks dont cause any driveline vibration and can handle weight well over the top rated payload capacity fo the truck.

My truck sometimes has a vibration when I brake,usually going downhill... I have been told this is somewhat common and is because of the lightness of the rear of the truck, I was wondering for those of you who "levelled" their trucks did you notice this before and did it improve after you raised the front (Thereby more evenly distributing the weight?)

i have never had the brake issue on my dak.38000 miles now. still the same everything unless noted in other threads. but the one thing i noticed before and after about lowering is the truck will corner better instead of hooping the back end out and around. and last night while doing another 120 mph pull, the frt end was bobbing up and down like a bucking bronco. got to get aftermarket shocks soon
