lowering blocks to level stock stance

[rockyrivermark]

Just an FYI for anyone looking level their C10 keeping stock front height. Im just a shadetree mechanic so hopefully this isn't too far off base but worked for me.
I found the 1 3/4" lowering blocks took my stock hieght c10 with a 350CU to a nice level stance.
ordered blocks off ebay
solid aluminum block and longer new threaded U bolts
Jack up under the diff, always add a jack stand for safety.
Remove the wheel
put another jack under the trailer arm (I did one side at a time)
take the nuts off the U bolts with impact and I needed some heat to get them to move.
take a rachet strap from drum and hook the other end to the frame under the cab somehwere. this will keep things from moving off line.
slowly lower the jack that's under the trailing arm and work out the U bolt out.
I left my shocks on and the shock bracket just dropped off.
install the block and work new U bolts in and tighten everything up. U bolts may take a bit of fiddling with but just adjust rachet strap if needed or a bump with a hammer.
Remember to put the shock bracket through U bolt holes first.
Note: when you go to do the other side put a jack stand under the axle of the first side you did. otherwise that side will drop.
Personally I didn't want to lower my truck but didn't like the factory rake either . This leveled off the truck nicely.
took about an hour.
hope it helps someone else later.
