Ok so I removed my 1 1/2" blocks and went with some 2" blocks so that when I install my air bags it bottom out on the bed floor when aired out. Here is some pics of before and after and a couple pics of the new stance. Oddly enough I can tell the 1/2" differance :lol:

I sure will let you know on that one. I've always wanted to try a 67-68 wheel.. not sure why I say I've always wanted to try one when I've only done my own for myself in my entire restoring career :haha: Hope that sounds trustworthy ;)

I really do believe so I think I counted 50+ of just our trucks alone granted we made up for 12 or more just from the c/10 club alone

Great upgrade the blocks look really clean under there and shoot I think even I can see the difference in just the after shot. I may just have to go with some steelies and drop my truck some more ;)
