Lowering Blocks

Any pro's or con's in using a lowering block in conjunction with a flip kit to lower rear to 6"?

I would not recommend using blocks! Just install 2" adjustable shackles and set them at the 1" setting. :bowtie:

If I use the lowering shackle, will I then have a problem in using a air lift air bag? :confused:

There is absolutly no problem using lowering blocks. Heck, thats the only reason Im going with a flip kit is so if I ever want lower all I need is blocks. Shackles require cutting bed supports, hangers require grinding off old rivits. Big pain in the butt.
