    I have spent hours searching but haven't found an answer to my questions. I am installing a lift in a few weeks and want to make sure that I have everything that I need before I get started.

    I have ordered maxtrac spindles and eibach coils for the front. That should give me roughly 5.6" in the front. I want the truck to sit as level as possible. I bought a 2" deaver AAL from a member today. To sit level I think I need a 2" block.

    Are all blocks created equal? If not, is there a manfacturer I should look for?

    On top of the blocks, will I need extended brake lines for the rear?

    Also, which shocks should I run in the rear? I was leaning towards the bilstien 5100 b110's. I appreciate any input.

    I don't have experience with blocks. they prolly are not all just as good as any other tho. someone else will prolly know.

    I gather your doing a 6" lift, which is a big can of worms. you don't need ext lines for 3" rear lift but id bet you would for 6, especially if you go offroad.

    so are you planning to mall crawl or rock crawl?

    I have a cabin in the woods The driveway is probably more demanding than the wheeling most people do, but I don't intentionally go looking for rocks to crawl over. :D
