i would not go over anything bigger then a 3'' block. the bigger the block the lower the bottom shock mount goes to the ground. heres a pic of my 3'' block..

Not to mention...more than 3" seems too much of a chance something can break. Almost everyone here thats ran a 4" block, had it crack within a year.

Eh, I've got 4" block on right now. Yea, it is definitely a bit of a hassle. I would stay with 3". When I switched to 4", my low profile tires caused me to drag on EVERYTHING! So I switched to my all season stocks, which is like being at the same height as my low profiles, but on a bigger tire.

My shocks are practically bottomed out and my scrub line is below the rim. Which is bad if you blow a tire! I don't think they have cracked, yet. But we'll see when I do my airbag suspension.

I sit low atleast!

just go to like stylinconcepts.com or whatever, theyll have kits for our trucks with bolts and everything you need. id get something with a slight taper to correct pinion angle. blocks will give you hella axle wrap.

***big blocks give you hella axle wrap.

Big blocks create axle wrap, but doe does pulling leafs. Leaf springs are not the best way to lower a vehicle, period.

I take that back, they work great. But they are not good if you want the cheapest possible route.

yeah, i ran 4'' blocks years ago, big mistake, they never broke but scrub line can be a bitch, plus i had bad axle wrap, but other than that i never had a prob, they where pinion angled blocks. but ne wayz, dont do with anything over a 3'', and like they said, if you have to pull your leaf pack apart and remove one, just make sure you dont remove the load leaf( bottom one) and youll be fine, might have to trim your bumps though.
