You cant put blocks in the front of your truck because you dont have leaf springs you have coils. You can buy 2" spacers to fit between your top of your coil and coil bucket I think. If you dont have blocks on the rear already you can add a 2" block with no problems. If you do have a block back there take it out and put a 4" block in. Never stack blocks.

Lift blocks in the front are a cause to be beaten in most states anyway. Deffinately in SC because I dont want a block to fall out and you hit me. Good thing you dont have to worry about that though.

Why did you not buy an 8" kit from the beginning? That kit is new right?
Just get the right kit.
You are getting into the area where the front driveshaft is getting too short, brake lines are about max, and the trac bar is going to start getting a little short, as is the drag link.
All of these items are taken into consideration when the 8' kit is designed thus costing a bit more money.
No real shortcuts to getting a bit taller.

75,
all very good points.

WW,
Are you planning for bigger tires? The truck in your gallery looks like it clears the tires fine the way it is.

i wouldnt listen to anything they have to say.... the folks i have talked to in the past about parts have been downright idiots and argued with me over what i knew i had. one guy had the gall to tell me that i need a Chevy, not a Ford and he was not joking. i walked out and havent been back to one nor have i called them up

of course they are gonna say no, they want to sell you another kit!

if you can run 35's now with no problems i would venture to say 37's would be no problems either!
