Yep, there were plenty of threads and they were not stretched,

 

Awesome! Thanks cant wait to do this.

This might be a stupid question, but this will work on the LT trail boss correct?

Yes, the rears are the same as the custom.

I dont know if the regular trucks have blocks at all. So removing the block could bring it down 2" instead of one, hopefully someone will chime in.

Regular trucks do not have a lift block but it does have a shim.

Makes sense to not have the frame rest right on the leaf springs

Someone is telling me that if I do this, it’ll cause a bind at the rear between the yokes and creaks loudly. You had any problems? This can’t be any worse than putting the 1.5 in front motofab level on would it?

The blocks are tapered, if you put them in correctly the driveshaft alignment is fine.

the front end is about 1 1/2- 1 3/4 inches lower than rear.....if you replace block with one half the size you be really close tho still hair of rake, which isn't bad imo…..I rather see bit of rake than the nose high..., 

 

lots of ways to do it...

 

I have RST 4x4 and has no block

Installed the 1 inch blocks today. Stance looks awesome. Only thing I don’t like is the u bolts showing too much thread out the bottom but it’s all good.

Post some truck pics! I’m thinking about getting the GM lift for my LTZ and using a 1” block too.

I would just cut them with angle grinder and cutoff wheel...

Thinking about removing the side steps as well.

That looks great. Nice alternative instead of adding front level to trail boss. What kind of measurements are you getting at the front and rear fenders now? Thanks!

39’’ in the front and about 40’’ in the rear.
