Default Need your help fast!!

I just ordered the Curt Class III Hitch and Monroe Rear Shocks.

I want to order rear blocks as well. I have the Ready Lift leveling kit. Should I go with 1.5'' rear blocks or 2'' rear blocks. i do not want the truck to have a rack but I do not want the truck to have a saggy rear.

Also wear did you guys order the rear blocks from and what brand did you go with.

well im not sure since i have not decided if i want 2 but i do beleive u want to go with an 1.5 lift to make it stay leveled? since u already have a 2 inch leveling kit on it. i dont believe there are particular blocks for our trucks but u can use universal ones? i think the rough country levling kit comes with blocks? but its for 2wd but should work? hope sumone is up to help... i wish i could help u more man

1.5" blocks would restore most of the factory rake. 2" would put it right around back to stock. I got my blocks from a local 4x4 shop. I think BDS made them. The u-bolts had to be custom bent since no one around here carried ones that would fit.

Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I need to do a side-by-side test with it on and off to see how it does. I put it and a high flow filter on at the same time, and I'm not sure which to give credit to for the slight boost in power I initially felt.

Nope. Sorry. I told the shop what axle it was, and they grabbed what they called generic 2" blocks. I can check when I get home, but I think I threw out the box.
