You will need jackstands for the frame of the truck, and a jack for lowering/raising the rear end to get the blocks in.

Dixiesys - if you have any truck magazines, just look in the ads where they sell suspension parts, most of those companies have these kits available. Most of them have websites also.

I wouldnt go any more then 2" with the block, even the 2" on mine looks scary, if I ever get a flat it will drag the ubolts and trailering arms. The only reason I have blocks is a wanted a total of 7'' drop (using 5"springs). If you just want to drop between 3" to 6" I would just go with the springs.

you want to support the trailing arms and remove the u-bolts then jack up the diff. to install the blocks.
