Why not keep your stock rear springs and ditch the blocks for a 4" shackle flip and some 1" zero rates?

if it was me i would go to a 3 inch spring then go to a spring shop to get it arked more and add a other leaf under the first one going eye to eye(pass the bolt hole)that way u incrase the spring capasity and reduse the risk of breaking the top one near the bushing.And as a bonus u will corect the shackel angle by pithcing it forward a bit.on the down side it will ride a bit harder but it is the price to pay!!!

keep in mind i work in a spring shop for a living for the past 6 year and you can belive the thing i see all day long!!! some people are just plain stupid sometime.. dont get me started!!!

hope it helped a bit

2" springs and a shackle flip... should sit aboot level...

WHy would you want 5" in the rear if you got 6" up front Especially when burbs have saggy a$$ already...

you

Anyways... id still go flip/ zero rate or a 2.5" flip, and a 3" spring...

The flip/ spring would be a better option, imo, because your using a new spring
