4" Black Diamond Suspension lift
 
I am considering installing a 4" lift on my '71. Black Diamond has a kits with rear leafs for 510 w/o shocks and a kit with blocks for 350. Has anyone had experiance with this lift or this company. Any info would be great. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Tuff Country has some good stuff thanks. I ve heard that with a shakle flip makes the tires uneven in the wheel wells? What about blocks has any body had any problems with them? Thanks

Ive been running 4" blocks for years and never had a problem. Never run blocks in the front. Shackle flips will move the axle from the center of the wheel well.

Black Diamond was originally owned and designed by Warn. They were sold to someone else last year. The original engineering was excellent, but no clue about present owners. Usually replacement rear leafs also slightly relocate the axle in the wheel well. Spend the extra money and get the leafs. You will not be unhappy.
