Should I block the rear end up with 1"

[triplet]

this is just with the 2" coil spacers up front, I want a level look so down the road I can add a 3" body lift and still be level, this is with stock tires, I plan to add new rims and LT285/75/16 tires this summer, what are your ideas on the 1" rear blocks or should I 2" rear block it, and BirdDog what are your ideas since you have saw my truck before first hand and commented on the rear end was lower

[triplet]

bring it back up since it was a late night post and did not stay up too long for that day

id say it needs 1" more of rear block....how much block is in there now? just get a block 1" bigger not tapered, and see if ur ubolts have extra thread for it

there are no blocks in the rear right now just the 2" coil spacers up front

Hey T-Bone, looking at the side view it looks like you need some bigger meats!

[triplet]

I do need bigger meats, plan to get new rims and 285's this summer! but what about the 1" block Brian

[bigreen]

then 1" block all the way if u have 1" of U bolts to play with

will the ones from AutoZone or Advance Auto parts be fine to use, I don't do any hard core offroading just some mud trails from time to time and used as my daily driver and hunting truck

[BirdDog]

1 inch block in the rear is not going to hurt anything. They sell them at Auto Zone and I think they come with new U bolts. Like Green said, you may need longer ones.


Hey Tim, I would like to meet up with you some day and check out the ride and maybe go 4 wheeling at my house. Let me know what you think I will be having some time off next week.

[bigreen]

yeah its kinda hard to screw up a 1" block...so u can go with them, but if you have enough room to reuse your stock bolts, id do it, whoknows what kinda crappy material their u bolts are made of.

thanks guys, I will go check some out Friday! and Biggreen about how much do I need in extra thread to be safe with the block on, how much thread should be left exposed after the block is installed


Brian, I don't about this up and coming week, it get down to the end of college and they are starting to load us up, but we will have to do it during the summer sometimes once college gets out

[bigreen]

as long as u have to whole nut on threads, i dont see a problem...good luck man
