I think you are refering to the lowering block. It is 2" thick, although they are avail. in 1/2", 1", 1 1/2" also. I like to use a block for the firt 2" of lowering, this aproach keeps the spring as long as possible for a better ride.

what about the brackets on the crossmember for the trailing arms, should we still raise them up ?

Yes, I would still move them up, and/or flip them.

Thanks Rob, I am in the process of doing this as we speak, will use the 2x2 block, am getting ready to order your shock relocator kit, and at the same time we are moving the rear axle back 1.5" and adding a cpp notch kit. Busy Busy

I would order your fatboy panhard rod but cannot afford it right now. may add it later. We are also slamming a 65 LWB Fleetside so too many irons in the fire.


Thanks again , Kieth

Got the shocks redone. Here are the pictures of the passenger side.





I took this one looking through the wheel.
