Lowering blocks
Is this a good/correct way to lower a truck?

Re: Lowering blocks
I think i would of cut the pads off and welded them under the axle. That looks to put a lot of stress on them unsupported welds on the pads.

Re: Lowering blocks
Yup, that is a flip kit. Nothing wrong with lowering a truck that way.

Re: Lowering blocks
Oh I didn't know that. I guess I didn't look at it close enough. I'm not looking to do that kind of upgrade any time soon. Just some shackles to hopefully level the truck out a bit.
