I put 2" spacers in the front today.

Going to get 3" blocks from someone for the rear.

But i was just thinking about the rear shocks. Can i still use the stock ones?


Cant afford new shocks at the moment.

On the normal road it will be a little rougher. Any terrain where the suspension flexes there will be a chance that they will bottom out. So to answer, yes you should get new shocks. But if you just stay on the road in the meantime, you will probably just suffer from a bad ride.

your truck comes stock with 3"blocks....

Oh

I didnt know that...

I havent even looked yet.


I guess i would need bigger blocks then

 

[JamesJ2525]

Well the Offroad package does.. Didn't think all 4X4s came with the factory lift.

I looked today.

There is 3" metal spacers in the back

The spacers also have a piece that sticks off them for the rubber bumber to hit.

Maybe ill just weld a 2" chunk of metal to the stock one.

All i want to do is lift it 2" for now just to have the rear a little higher then the front.


This is definatly a cheap 2" Lift

$20 For front procomp 2" spacers
$0 Spacers Install
$25 For longer U-Bolts
$0 Weld a 2" piece of metal onto stock spacers

$45 Bucks Total

A 3" lift kit is $1000 (Better of course)


Hmmm $45.....$1000.....$45......$1000


I ll do the $45 for now...



This pic is with the 2" front levelers only. Will post an after pic if anyone wants to see with 2" added in the back

Pic doesnt look as high as it really is

dont weld anything to the block...just buy a pair of AAL'S (Add-A-Leaf) and you get 2" for $30

 

[poloski]

you get axle wrap with tall blocks

How do you install those? Ive never looked at any.


I thought those would be more money then that.

Mine is exactly level right now with the front 2" spacers. I measured the front and back.

But im going to lifting the back 2" also

 

[poloski]

c-clamp the leaves, take off u-bolts, add the leaf at the bottom

NO NO NO! The AAL goes above the lowest spring.
