2005 dr 4.5 kit installed
I wanted to post and ask some of you guys with the same kit about the rear blocks. I told the shop that I wanted the 1" taller block than came with the kit because I have A leer shell and haul stuff and definately didnt want it to squat in the rear. The blocks I got are 5" tall and the truck sits perfectly level (about 1/4" lower in rear after 30mi) with the camper on. Just wondering if I got what I paid for or if the 5" block is standard. Will post some pics soon! thanks for any replys.

As far as I know the 4.5" kit comes stock with the 4" block and the 5" is an option for a 1" nosedown setup. They also have a 6" block available. The 7" kit uses 5" leafs and a 2" rear block. Just what I read on the SDHQ website, I don't have the kit.....

I hate to say it, but you got the standard block(5") that comes with the 4.5"
kit.
ON EDIT: I take it back, Bandaman is absolutely correct, the '05 kits come standard with 4" rear blocks. The '99-'04 kits came standard 5". Sorry I'm an ***.

thanks alot for the replys, I am glad I didn't get the 4 inch block or the back wold definately squat. maybe I will go with the ^ inch but that would probably be more money and u-bolts, etc. Oh well at least it sits level empty.
