Will new shock be requiring to lower

[Johndeereman]

I have a 06 chevy 1500 z71, has a 3 inch rear block. Wanting to lower the rear and wandering how low I can go with out getting new shocks, thinking about getting 1.25 blocks off a newer chevy

I DONT KNOW JACK !! But...... Going up will get you into more trouble than going down will.... The issue will be bottoming out your shock and I dont think that you will be doing that by only going 1 1/2" down. What shock (s) are you running now?

No idea bought the truck with the leveling kit installed and no stickers just white and red

Since you don't know just get the lower blocks. Worse case scenario u ruin current shocks and buy new ones at a later point.

I think you'll be fine if you're only going down 1.75 inches. Are you leaving the front end untouched?

 

Although at this point you might as well get some better shocks if you haven't done so recently.

Get a measuring tape

Front is staying the same doin a Cali lean, have new from blistens 5100 waiting to be put on tonight. Just don't have the money to do the back

I could only find 2 inch blocks so gunna try that

[Johndeereman]

Well I didn't like it with the 2 inch blocks how bad is it to go no blocks like the 2wds then what shocks would I need to order ?

The shocks may just be the OEM size already. I would just replace the rear blocks with OEM ones. I am sure someone will trade you.
