Where have you guys purchased the blocks. I've tryed ebay, summit racing, rough country. Nobody lists it for a 2004 ram 1500 4x4. I'am looking for a 2 inch lift with u-bolts. I need to raise the rear because the front has been leveled and it squat's to easy with any bit of a load. ( ex: dirt bike on trailer hitch carrier)



Thanks for the help.

 

First I would say if you load your truck with any amount of stuff where the rear squats, you need to look at getting a bag setup. Probably around $200 bucks, not that bad and you won't regret it. If not, you can pick up a block set at somewhere like autozone for
$30 bucks. But I would start looking at at bagging it personally.

 

I would like to stay away from bags because some places I dirt bike my truck has to flex alot. I would be affraid of tearing the bags out.

 

haha, you wont tear those bags at all. plus with blocks you'll be stuck with the rear end rake.

 

i would look at an AAL may stiffen the ride a little bit, but at least when you load it she wont sag...

 

IDK about for the 4x4 and if they are any different but you can get 1" - 2" - 3" block sets at Autozone for 30 bux. I bought a 1" for mine some time back and put it on but again, Im a 2wd so you will need to go look at them and see if they will work for your application

 

First of all, blocks will NOT help your suspension at all. You need either helper leafs or bags. Bags would be the way to go for there flexibility and ride comfort.

It would be hard to imagine you flexing more than I do when I'm carrying my ATV out hog hunting. I don't ride hard, but I cross some pretty severe terrain.

Just go with the Air Lifts like I did, better setup to work with lifted trucks and 4x4s than the Firestones.

A manual fill system would run you right around $200 and take you maybe 2 hours to install in the driveway...



and you ain't lookin very hard for blocks, any auto parts store has them or can get them in a day...

 

About my flex beleive it or not but the one ditch I have to go thru it flexed it hard enough once that the left rear tire rub the wheel wel.

 

well, get you some bags, and air em up while traveling to prevent squatting. then when you are gonna be driving over terrain like that with a load big enough to make your rear squat (which i dont totally agree with) just let the air out of em to get your flex back.

 

Hammer do you have a link to where you got them and or the kit # for your airbags? Thanks
