Well its a 1" coil spring spacer but 1" of coil spring spacers usually = 3" of lift. Mine sits pretty level but I have weight in the back right now cause of the damn snow so the rear end sags a little.

Btw the blocks I got at auto zone for 30$ and I got the spacers for 40$ on ebay :icon_cheers:

Cheers to a $70 3' lift

That's nice. I think I might do that. I jave a few questions. The blocks are pretty straight forward. The coils in the front. How muvh do you have to remove to install them? You prob need a coil compressor? I have new stock shocks all around. do I have to change them? Do I have to change anything else?

Yeah the blocks were easy but the coil springs were a bitch. On my truck there isnt enough room to get a coil spring compressor on the coil springs so we disassembled the front end and dropped the lower control arm and let the coil springs fall out. Then we set the spacers in lower control arm and used a pry and a jack to compress the coil springs while lifting up the lower control arm.

I also had just got new shocks all around and yes you will need new shocks. I actuallly put the stock ones back on but it was bumpier then hell. Evently my shocks just ripped apart because the front end was actually being pulled down by the shocks :thefinger:

. So I recommend getting long travel shocks before you start your job.

The only other thing you will need is a camber adjustment because your ties will be bowed in a little bit.

i did the same procedure here for the front, but i did some custom stuff :icon_welder:

to the shocks so i can still use the ones i had cuz theyre new, i extended the upper bolt and added a metal piece so the shock has the stock travel again, cuz like u said they went to the top in every bump

Im gona lift my 92 2wd with the same method, do you have a part number or link for the blocks and spacers? And you just got stock 4x4 shocks too right? Did you have to do get a longer stud that holds the spring

looks good by the way, black wheels will look beast!

wait a second, ive been looking for bilsteins for my truck and everywhere ive looked front 4wd shocks are the same as the front 2wd shocks for every year pretty much. how did you get 3'' of lift from 1'' spacers? I have 2'' spacers and didnt even get that much lift. truck looks great by the way

Thanks and well they were not the same on my truck. The 4wd front shocks holes had to be widened to fit onto my truck.

I know your probilly like wtf? so I just made you a diagram lol. So this is looking at the bottom on the shock;

The 2wd was a tad bit wider and so where the red boxes are we simply cut out and then installed onto my truck so that the bolts would fit.

Maybe its the same with bilsteins but I just got Gabriels from auto zone lol. Also The guy i bought the spacers from said, 1' thick coil spring spacer on the BOTTOM of your coil springs = 3 inches of lift.
I in total with new shocks and the spacers have gotten 2.75 of lift, plus the 31's

Also heres another picture of my truck ( My parking spot at school :icon_thumby:
