    Blocks in the back would be OK or is it just as bad for both front and back?

    If you're going to lift it, do it right and get a suspension lift done.

    All these block lifts are really quite silly. I mean if you need a 1" body lift to clear a bumper, that's one thing... but what are you getting it for? Looks? Save your money.

    You will probably end up damaging something doing a huge block lift... What's the point?

    All these people that want form over function - get a grip. Functional always wins in my book!

    alot of metal, small engine, decent travel.
    caged, camburg long travel, 50t leafpack (soon to be installed) light rack over cab, 5pt harnesses etc
    to be honest, heres the best cheapest lift option IMO.

    4 inch lift spindles
    bilstein 5100s set at 2.5
    (6.5 inch lift for the front)

    you should try to get the leaf TSB. but you should use a add a leaf for the rear and you will probably need a 1 or 2 inch block on top of that.

    you dont NEED blocks. theres AALs or whole seperate leaf packs
    its better in the back and since your not off roading a block should be fine.
