Rear Lift question

Ok so i wanted to to lift my rear suspension i have a completely stock rear end suspension and leafs. i have a set of 1.5 blocks that i wanted to put on the truck. is this a good idea or a bad one i am trying to figure this out so i can do it soon. let me know your input thanks guy

 

I say no. Everyone is going to say buy an aal. They are about 80 bucks a pair. Much better than blocks. As far as shocks, either 5100's or ome shocks would be good.

do the blocks if your funds a little low, but i would agree with everyone else and AAL when you have the chance

 

Any "cheap" lift is not going to last long. Cheap lifts include spacer lifts, Body lifts, and blocks.

Get a Add-a-Leaf. there about $65-$80 and they will last a good while.

Blocks create more axle wrap and blocks tend to make the leafs sag faster overtime.

 

unless you're punishing yourself for something you did, do NOT put the blocks on, you'll have a terrible ride. just get an AAL or the rear TSB from the dealership

 

just out of curiosity why are the blocks bad

Are those as long as the toytec ones? They seem shorter. If so I would go toytec.

 

You can use the blocks it'll be fine. but the better way would be to use an aal. I used a one inch block for years with no problems at all! No vibes, no axle wrap, and no sagging rear springs. But i would suggest the aal!

 

If you want to put a block instead of aal, just find a square rock and drill a hole through it. Much cheaper. After all, you name is throughitall.

 

not cool man i thought we bonded pretty nicely after socal mod day but i guess not dang

 

I have these. These are fro Fat Bob's and they are FabTech... They do not have the Anti-Friction pads. They are now squeaking like mess

It was all sarcastic... Dont get hurt..

 

Im just being dumb. We dont want you to make a mistake. Its not that much more to go from a block to an aal so you should do it right.

 

ya i have a AAL lined up so i just gotta buy it and put it in now i know its not a difficult install but is it do able because i have heard stories of guys throwing off their axle alignment when putting a AAL in

 

Nope. As long as you put the AAL in straight and true with the leaf pack, you will be just fine.

 

sweet and i am thinking about buying the pro comp rear shocks in the for buy sale trade forum check those out let me know what you guys think about those i dont know anything about rear shocks and for the price i have no clue?

 

i have the pro comp 9000 gas shcks in the rear and i like them they seem fine!! I heard the blisteins 5100's are better though, but they are also a bit more expensive.
