tgc level kit and rear blocks????? WTF
I bought my TGC 2.5" level kit when it first came out back in jan 06, now they offer the same kit with 1.5" blocks and rear u bolts???? why is that? why in the world would u buy a leveling kit for the front, but then jack up the rear again???....

when you actually use your truck, you need to raise the rear so the rear doesnt sit lower than the "leveled" front when you actually fill the bed.
I never understood people leveling the trucks. the trucks sit the way they do for a reason. handling and load capacity. thats why i got a leveling kit with a rear add a leafs.
(hope i didn't come off as a total dick
)

i've had my bed nearly touch my tires carrying shingles to a job. but thats in a 1500. yea bags are 300 but then you have to either manually fill and let air out or buy a tank and then fit it all.

YEAH, ur prolly right I guess haulin' a 8,000 lb tractor weekly isnt "ACTUALLY USING MY TRUCK" but yea I guess I only installed 4.56's for the heck of it...and the overload shocks, oh and the air bags with the onboard compressor for looks huh...? oh and I just clicked 112,000 miles and it's an 06 and I bought it brand new with 12 miles....so yeah ur right MDRAM....i dont use my truck......but maybe u shouldn't talk like that in this forum.

yea cuz that tractor is really filling the bed. and the onboard compressor is so you can change it when hauling, and so you dont have to manually adjust it everytime you have a load and dont have a load. maybe i'll add some candy flakes and candy paint with some spoke wheels, i didnt say he doesnt actually use his truck, and thats why i said "hope i didnt come off as a total dick"

haha, didnt even realise it was you. but yea, you asked the question, you got your answer. so let me rephrase it.
i guess the added blocks is for the guys who want to raise their truck but still load the bed enough to have it drop a few inches with all the weight.
