Hey guys, i have been considering this i want to do a small body lift like 1 inch max to give me more clearance between the frame and body makes it easier to work on things. I have been doing some research and i found this do you guys thing this will work? if i get 12 blocks and grade 8 bolts from the hardware store all will be good?

dont see why not all oreo did was get the (3" i believe) from airbagit.com and cut them in half so he only had to buy 6 and he said he got all new grade 8s... yours is the same concept just get 12 instead of 6
