Found these the other day. Looks like a good alternative to lift springs that could cost a small fortune. Looks like they would be easy to make if you have the time and the tools.

Many have done it that way and it you tow at all it not a good idea. The shackle has a problem with buckling I think with a set up like that. They can also "Cam over". Its a fine option just be care with weight in the truck.

Thanks for the info Tex. I did not even know these things existed until recently. Good to know I have options between the two brands. Might even be more. Have you ever used either one?

Nothing wrong with blocks. Stock trucks have come with 2 and 4 inch blocks for decades. Don't double stack blocks and if you get much over 4 inches put a set of traction bars on it to help with axle wrap.

Blocks are okay in the back in reason, but traction bars are necessary.
Never ever block the front. Never stack blocks either.
