Remove blocks. Order shackle flip.
Or build one.

if I got new shackles, do I have to get zero rates as well?
Don't have to.

Nothing much to report here for progress on Whitey. I have some stock blocks off a '08 Sierra I'm going to stick under the 4" rear blocks of the truck. They're roughly a inch and a half. With the junk out of the back these blocks should level the truck with 4 tires that have matching tread.
Stacking blocks is usually frowned upon.

I know, but it's happening for now.

I don't want to use an add a leaf, because it doesn't need to ride any rougher than it does. I'll prob do a shackle flip like Chris's truck later on.
Gotcha.

Put the blocks in yet?
I'd rather have a truck not level than stack blocks.
I agree as long as it's front high, not a fan of the stink bug look

I haven't installed them yet. They're a dowled block so I honestly don't see what could be so bad. The u bolts would have them sinched together no different than the leafs and blocks it has now.

It would be the leafs, a 1.5", and a 4" block with heavy duty u bolts. If something shears the u bolts I'm in trouble no matter 1 or 2 blocks.

I wouldn't go this route if it were say a 4" and a 4 inch, but a 1.5 is really no different than if I added a zero rate as well, right?
