Rear Lift Nnbs

[breakthru]

Okay I put a 2.5" leveling kit on my crew cab and now the front is higher then the back and it looks stupid as hell. The cap o have on the back weights about 300lbs so I guess it is compressing the rear a bit. But I have been looking around for some place that sells online or via phone so I can get the rear end up another 2-3" Is this possible? Any idea where or what I need?

 

Thanks

i dont thinki they make a complete 3" spring pack for our trucks. Your only options may be either replace the stock block with a larger one or and add a leaf stup. Id prefer a spring pack, I hat blocks/AAL's.

VERY simple fix.

 

Lift blocks can be found at any auto parts store. They are a standard universal item. Simply remove the factory mini block and replace it with the new block. You'll need U bolts which you can buy with the blocks. Unless you go over 3 inches, (which is the limit for safe lift blocks IMHO) you don't need any pinion angle correction.

I had the same issue after I installed my Rough Country 1.5" front leveling kit so I added FabTech 1" rear lift blocks.

Truck sets perfect now,check out the pictures in the garage (In some of the pictures it might look like the truck does not sit any higher,but it does)

Where did you purchase the lift blocks. Looked on FabTech's site and could not find them. Also did you stack the new 1" blocks on top of the factory mini block? Did the new blocks come with new U-bolts?

I bought my lift blocks from a local four-wheel drive shop here where I live,You can get them here though...Performance Lifts

Yes,I stacked them on top of the factory block.

No,The new blocks did not come with new U-bolts,you have to buy them separately,I bought mine from the local spring shop here in town.

This is the first time I ever bought lift blocks,I usually just take my trucks to the local spring shop and have them add-a-leaf to raise it,but I figured I'd give this a try instead and I'm satisfied with it!

I was worried about this myself,believe me I don't want an unsafe truck,especially a new unsafe truck.

So I spoke to a buddy of mine who's a design engineer for Ground Force,They make lowering kits,before that they were known as "Rugged Trail" and made lift kits,I ask him about stacking blocks like I did,He said with the 1" height I went with I was totally OK stacking it on top of the factory block.

I don't know what the height limit is on stacking but I don't think I'd go more than 1 1/2" on top of the factory block.

I keep checking everything under there as far as movement and so far everything's OK,I've also checked the torque on the U-bolt nuts a few times and there OK.
