Lift Kit advice needed

[Shayner]

I'm new to the truck world and I need some info. 

 

 I need to replace suspension components on my truck and i'm wanting to do a small lift while I'm at it. Looking at doing the rancho 2" quick lift up front and want to keep my rake. Thinking of going with the rancho rs9000xl in the rear. 

 

My question is what size block do I go for in the rear to maintain a reasonable rake? I do light to moderate hauling/towing (dirt bikes in the summer, enclosed trailer with sleds in the winter).  Any info would be great as I'm wanting to get the parts in asap and get them in before winter rolls in.

That would depend on how much rake you want to keep. If you want to keep the same rake as stock, go with the same size in the rear. Otherwise if you want to keep a slight rake, use a 1" block. Be sure to use new U bolts when installing lift blocks, the original U bolts are stretched when torqued and should not be re- used.

Good to know, ball joints on my 01 makes a knock sound when turning the wheel all the way in either direction. 2" lift is in the future with the new ball joints
