Pro to using rear blocks is you keep the factory spring rate in the rear Con is AXLE WRAP Pro to using rear lift springs, get rid of axle wrap Con is stiffer ride in rear Just something to think about. Eric |

Re: 4 Inch Lift Q's
you shouldnt need to extend brake lines, i didnt use a pitman arm, when you put yr 14 bolt in did you have to use new spring perches? i did and the perches was taller than stock ones and the rear sit up about 1 inch higher than the front which i didnt like so i took my blocks out and cut a 1 inch off , now it sits level, good luck to ya , becareful and use jackstands,

Re: 4 Inch Lift Q's
You can just take the brake hose out from through the frame and locat on the bottom of the frame.Driveshafts,no problem with 4".I like to use the drop steering arm and leave the piman arm & drag link stock.
As said,be careful.Keep a clear mind of what is still with the truck and what`s not when chocking.Do one axle at a time so there`s always at least one end stable. Have fun.Nothing better than hopping in a freshly lifted truck.
