Question rear lift?

Okay I've been thinking and I may want to just lift the rear a few inches above the front to put it at an angle. I've never done anything with lift before, so I'm wondering if there's anything special I have to do to just lift the rear?

(Also, if you have any pics of rear lifted dents, post em please, I've only seen one)

these trucks came from the factory with the rear higher than the front.....


does your truck sit level or do you just want more lift in the rear?

Unless your talking about 4 to 6 inches or more(generally deemed unsafe heights if done with just blocks), you can simple put lift blocks between the axle and springs... they make them starting at 1/2" and in 1/2" increments up to around 6" iirc. too far though and you have to do wedge blocks to re-set the pinion to line up with the driveshaft and possibly driveshaft length.
