orderd 2inch blocks.. should i order a kidney belt to?

Silverstreak01 · May 4, 2005

well i bit the bullet. i orderd a new rustys 4.5 coils and 2inch blocks for the back. with my 3inch saged skyjacker packs and 1.5 shackels i should sit pretty level? i was in a bind wiht ordering 33s i need some room. will i be able to get away with the blocks for a bit before i get a new pack. or does it have bad news all over it?

well, 2" blocks, 1.5" shackle and a sagged out 3" add a leaf will have the ass end about .5" higher than the front with new 4.5" coils. the blocks arent going to hurt your add a leafs much more if theyve already sagged out. however if the add a leafs are relatively new, then the rear will be too tall, and the blocks are going to prematurely sag those leafs.

Silver...can I ask what other mods you have done or are going to do for the 4.5's in front?

the blocks wont make the ride worse...

they will just give your springs a nice pretty "S" curve

sure you can. ranger its the full 3inch pack but that warn bumper and class are kicking my butt. or dragging it for that matter

i did nothing. i am going to use lower control arms from the 3inch kit. im going to do things as they come..trackbar.. brake line... see how it works . then go from there. im really up in the air on an la kit or a complete 6.5 regular kit. so im waiting till i see what i think.

iwith the new 33s on the way i dont have the $ to do it all right now. i dont drive this thing far so i can take my time

When you get money, order full packs.

but otherwise they will be fine until then (assuming its not too long)

Since your springs are sagged already the blocks shouldn't be any worse on them really. I had a scary experience with mine one day when I had to stop hard, causing the brakes to lock, the center pins actually broke which I was told happened because the blocks were in.

do the UCA's (adjustable) when you do the front end...

or you will end up needing a new front driveshaft after blowing it up from the crazy not right angle...

Wheel hop/axle wrap will be increased greatly by the blocks.

My .02 is new spring packs as soon as possible.

thanks ! thats what i thought but it was 50bucks vs. 300. Im just going to run them probably till next month. i wont be wheeling it hard at all. because i really need to do my brake lines and some other things..
I really want to do ACOS up front and a 6 inch pack in the back. so i can do a nice LA kit conversion. OR drop brackets... thats why I am holding off .
along with an HD trackbar and mount and bumpstops,
il keep you guys posted.
