5” lift blocks

I done a 2.5 in spring up front with 37s but I’m not crazy bout the nose up look. My question is can I use blocks from a 16 and do the rear shocks have enough travel to get me by until I can get the right ones? I already have the blocks is why I’m asking

I used air bags in the back, work great for a level look and hold my 8000 lb trailer level and steady. Just My 2cents!

i used the ready lift springs for the front but the blocks were given to me. I think I’m probably going to order the ready lift rear kit so there won’t be any question on if it works or not lol

I Put a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit on my 17..Then installed air bags (airlift) No compressor, fine for all the time i have to adjust them...That leveled the truck out with a rear suspension that allows me to tow my 10,000 travel trailer i also run 37" tires with no rub.
