I have my two 2" blocks and ubolts and im about to put them in. Is there anything i need to know before putting them in, and also my buddy said i might need shock spacers but hes not sure. Is this true do i need shock spacers for my 2" blocks in the rear?
Thanks

 

If you are running stock length shocks, then no you will not need shock spacers.

Heres a tip:

After you have inserted the blocks, align and bolt up the driver's side FIRST. People run into a problem where the emergency brake cable fights them and prevents them from aligning the block's pin with the leaf pack if they happened to bolt up the passenger side first.

So, take up some slack evenly on both sides with the u-bolts, but then align and bolt down the driver's side (the side with the e-brake cable) FIRST, then align and bolt the passenger side.

 

wish i knew that when i did mine, when i put the blocks on the axle shifted and the ubolts wouldn't line up, so i would listen to monkey, and do one side at a time and then put that side down and then lift the other side

 

I have angled blocks, which way do they go? Thicker end to the back or the front?

 

Thicker end to the back. This will tip the front of the axle up to keep stock u-joint alignment.

 

Here is the truck now with the rear blocks in. The truck looks way more level

Maybe help the person your squished under your truck before taking the picture lol

I would say it is pretty close, slightly higher in the rear.
