Lowering Blocks

I've been researching on lowering the rear of my c-10 some more. I would like to blocks. I'm thinking 2 inch blocks. I can't seem to find any that are vehicle specific. Any insight would be great. I've attached some pictures. I would like to have a more leveled look. So far C-notch in the rear. Spindles and and springs in the front. Thank you!

Re: Lowering Blocks

They are just blocks, kinda hard to be vehicle specific when its just a square piece of metal
And just my opinion, but it looks like the entire truck needs to go down another inch or two, not just the back. But to each their own!

I like the way you think! I've been over analyzing for sure.

Re: Lowering Blocks

I would avoid using blocks go with shackles or hangers...less problems

Re: Lowering Blocks

2" lower shackles would be the best solution.
