Need six-inch blocks

I need six-inch rear blocks for the back of the truck in my sig. Right now the stock 4” are in. Any Idea where I can get some? I found a set online for $225 and I want to avoid spending that type of money..

No, no you don't need 6" blocks.

I'd look into a shackle flip, or lower your hangars.

6"s of blocks is not reccomended. The axle wrap will be horendous. Your only after two more inches of lift right? Get a set of add a leaves, should be fairly inexpensive.

I'm pretty sure that no one on here is going to tell you to go with 6" blocks.

do a shackle flip...it will cost you an angle grinder, a cut off wheel for it, some grade 8 bolts and a couple drill bits.
If you have this stuff it wont cost anything. You should gain 3"-4" of lift just from that, then you can ditch the 4" block for a 2".

I would not give $0.02 for 6 inch blocks! Lift blocks suck big time. Do a shackle flip, get taller springs, anything but blocks!

That's what I thought, "$225 for BLOCKS!". Somebody's trying to make some cash!
