Leveling Kit + Blocks Question

Sierra250004 · December 8, 2008

I have 3inch blocks and a pro comp leveling kit (2.5) cranked. I have a 2500 sierra (04) and was wondering if anyone else has added blocks like this.. if so wat kind of shocks did you go with.. I went with the rancho 5000's (4inch lift) all the way around and in the front they seem somewhat bouncy and uncomfortable off road.. anyone recommend another shock that for the front i could try out that might ride smoother offroad?

It's because when you go over a bump, your upper control arm is making contact with the droop stops, and limiting the downtravel of the suspension. When the suspension can't droop, the whole truck has to drop down, which makes the ride rough.

Okay here is another question for you.. haha. ok is there such thing as getting a body lift for the front? the front only? and keeping the blocks in the back or no?

Unless you want the cab to sit 3" higher than the bed (which would look ridiculous ), nope.
