Thanks for the charts! I'll be able to see about how bad the spring are sagged. To your point, I may forgo the blocks and do springs...I know that's the correct way to go....

Those Moog springs are cheap. No way I'd do blocks. I used 844 springs, believe I paid under $70 shipped to my door. 1996 supercab shortbox, 351W/E4OD/4x4 with AC. To do it again I'd probably try the 824 set for a more compliant ride.

CC844 springs up front. About 2" lift in rear. 33x10.5 tires.

On a Jeep Wrangled I built, j first went with blocks, the replacedvthose with Springs, then added back the old blocks with the new springs...did some hardcore rock crawling i n that thing and it all worked great.

I've had this truck two weeks and the tires that were on it were crap, but noticeably worn on the inside. When I hang an angle finder on them I'm about two degrees negative compared to to the rear. Looking at it you dont really notice a negative camber unless looking for it, and I can see it's a bit negative. I'm trying to go very cheap for the moment, but y'all have shamed me into just going with springs😁... so I'm hoping just 1.5 inches will likely add about 2 degrees if camber, +/-....I completely built that Jeep suspension and did a driveway alignment, and it came out great. Don't laugh, but wish me luck😎
