Stock vs 1" vs 1.5" lift pics

I got my rear 1" blocks from readylift and it came with longer U-bolts. I don’t think the stock one are long enough and I think if you buy the TRD pro rear blocks it will automatically come with longer U-bolts in the box.

 

I bought the factory rear Pro blocks they did not come with U bolts. There has got to be someone here that knows If this smaller 1/2 inch block needs longer U bolts. I just don't want to start the install on these and find out in the middle of my install that I need longer U bolts.

 

Earlier in the thread guys said they used the factory u-bolts. Crawl under ur truck, hold the spacer to the exposed u-bolt threads. If there is about 1/2" past the spacer u will b fine. Also, look at the stock u-bolt condition. Sometimes u have to cut the u-bolts off. Might b worth spending $40-50 for new u-bolts to b safe.

 

Like the previous post says, crawl under the truck and see how much threads are sticking below the nuts on the ends of the U bolts. I added a 3AAL and removed the overload and while using the stock U-bolts.

 

Ok thanks for that. I have no trouble with replacing the U Bolts. Heck if I had the Pro part # for the Pro U Bolts I'd probably buy them, but I've had a very hard time finding it.

 

Yeh I figured since my block is only 1/2 inch I should be able to re use my stock U bolts, but I will get under the truck and check. Thanks.

 

5100s at 1.75” front.
.5” blocks in the back. It’s fine but I wish I did 1” blocks

 

There probably isn't a different part number for the pro u-bolts. I put a 1/2" shim/spacer in my driverside leaf for taco lean. I was able to just use the stock u-bolts. U should b fine. But definitely check b4 u start tearing away.

 

Ok thanks for the info.

 

Looks great. I agree to go up to 1" block in the back. I have 5100's and thought they can be set at 1.55 or 2.0" in front with stock springs. What's making you say 1.75"?

 

That’s what the actual measurement came out to.
Yup. When there’s nothing in the back, it’s fine, but when I put anything back there, which I do regularly, the rear sits a tad low.

 

Makes sense. Do you know which notch was used?
