Love the new look, now i just need to get the back end up a little so the front will not be higher then the back.

To make a long story short, the shop next door to my office tried to put in a 1" block in the rear and said that they could not get the shocks bolted back up. Has anyone else had this problem when installing blocks?

i had no problem what so ever installing the blocks on my truck and they were 3" blocks. I bolted the stocks shock back on too, just until the new ones came in but had no trouble doing so.

Looks good man, feels like a different beast with a level huh.

And guys, do you need new longer shocks when adding lift blocks?? I'm not sure...just want to know cause I'm getting 4" spindles soon and plan on getting the kit withe the blocks included...

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah I didn't think that longer shocks would be needed for just 1" blocks.

The back doesn't look lower than the front in that second pic? In fact, it still looks slightly higher.

I was going to say that the picture doesn't show the difference very well for some reason. The rear actually measures 3/4 inch lower than the front. Thanks for saying that though, maybe nobody will really notice the difference until i can put the blocks in.

Rofl my bad I was looking at the first picture when I posted that.

I'm so stupid. I guess I didnt realize it was a before pic.

In the second one I can tell, yes, but it's not terrible looking.
