little big red...... since you already have the 2" blocks with the 4wd, if you do decide to get bigger blocks, i would recommend to get a larger single block, rather than stacking them. this would probably also require longer u-bolts also. you should price it out though..... unless you are absolutely against airbags, they really are a better way to go.

the problem with adding the larger blocks is that it isnt going to always be level. you will either be level when loaded, or level when unloaded.... with bags, you get BOTH !!!

It all sounds good, but which is the cheapest way. Finances are tight after the holidays. I don't plan on hauling allot anyways, just my 4 wheeler to the hunting area

the cheapest way is probably to get larger blocks, then the next most expensive would be the add-a-leafs, and the airbags the most expensive.

I haul an atv in mine also. I would go for the blocks. Like what was said do not stack them. Just get some high quality 3" blocks like the Autospring ones I posted in the other thread and you will be good to go.

one thing to think about too..... is you may need longer u-bolts also.

Yes you are right Matt. The Autospring kit comes with new u-bolts also(the one I gave him a link of). I would not get bigger blocks without getting longer u-bolts on these trucks.

Hey ya'll thank for the info, I saw what you were talking about, the 3" blocks, they sound easy to put on and would probably solve the problem if it arises after lifting front.
