    I installed a 6" suspension on my 2017 and ended up with rubbing despite trimming. I then installed new UCAs and went up to 7" on the front.

    I now have a lean to the truck with 1.5" lower in the back and would like to at least level it. My 6" kit came with 3.5" blocks and an add a leaf.

    Has anyone installed 5" tapered blocks? Is the driveshaft long enough to accommodate blocks of that size? Is a bigger carrier bearing drop needed? Thanks guys.

    Get a custom leaf pack from Alcan or deaver. Get rid of the blocks and they can do custom height and weight for your rig.

    I'll look into it. Thanks man! Driveshaft angle and length question still remains though

    anyone know is the stock driveshaft is long enough to accommodate 6" of rear lift with a carrier bearing drop?
