Typically just the blocks.

I'd go with poly body bushings if your going to run a body lift.

hows the ord 1" lift and body bushings, i figure when i replace my worn out body bushing as well and put in the 1" lift i might get a 1.5 lft of were im at now i didnt want to go with a 2" body and i couldnt find any smaller till i found the k5 site i already have a 8" spring lift.

Wow, what size tire are you planning on running? 8" spring lift plus a body lift, must be you don't want to modify the fenders eh? What spring lift are you running?

[daddys72jimmy]

i used to have 39.5"s and was gonna cut the fenders but after my wife surprised me with my paint job i dont want to cut now, the fenders are still in ok shape. i now have 38"s but not muchroom for flex. im not looking for alot the truck is problly only on trails 30% of the time. i think there superlift i bought used and stickers is there another way to tell thanks for interest

One thing I did was turned the rear springs around to move the rear axle back another inch to give more clearence of the front corner of the fender.

4" all spring on mine, funny thing was I was replacing the 4" lift with blocks that my truck came with to the new all spring lift and it looked like the shackles were centered on the springs the first one went in with ease the second was a total PITA and took forever to get on. I then noticed the extra clearence so I swaped the first around to match the second. works perfect and like I said moved the whole axle back about a full inch.

I didn't know about swapping the rear spring around, going to have to try that.

You can also try ORD's zero rate springs:

I did the one inch body from ORD, but don't have a good side pic. I will take one this weekend. I'm going to run stronger bolts

I tried the same thing a few days ago hoping to center my rear axle better but found out that the particular springs I'm running are dead center...

Normally that's not the case, I got spanked twice on that move, 1) all the time I wasted & 2) I couldn't center up my axle any more.
