I would say 2 or 3". Deflate the bags and see how much clearance you have. There are a lot of guys on here who have fabbed up there own out of bar stock steel material. I wish I could just throw a set of blocks on mine. My 72 has rear leafs, sucks, sucks.

The lowering block goes on top of the truck arm, but below the axle tube. You probably already knew that though. Check out www.djmsuspension.com Good Luck!!
