stacking blocks is a huge no no..... when they are stacked the probability of one shooting out and killing someone or wrecking your rig is increased. Honestly I personally would never put in blocks over 4 inches.

You have some liberty here at FTE but you can receive warnings... I know. I received my first warning (2 points) last December. So, keep it in check.

I agree! I would prefer no blocks at all.

with ur truck being a diesel its gunna put even more load on those U-bolts, the leverage placed on them is bad enuf with a single 4" block..

stack em ontop of each other and it really stress's the Ubolt/spring perch out..

seriously its a dangerous practise, esp stacking blocks of the size ur truck has..

get a set of replacement spring and remove the blocks completly or at the very least go down to a single block...

you can either replace the block (and spring) with a larger spring, or get a 1 piece block

if you want something cheap i would contact possibly rough country since they do have a really good customer support and see if they will sell you individual springs. I would seriously try to use the smallest block possible if not eliminating it all the way.

Measure the height of the combined blocks and post up. I'll spend some time finding you an alternative single block of the same height. This will be less expensive and easier to install than new rear springs.
