I just noticed my blocks are stacked. Is this bad? I've heard bad things about it.

If I change them to 3 inch blocks because I tow quite often I'd like to have a little rake to the truck do I need to change the u bolts they have a lot of thread left on them.

I do a shackle drop instead of using a lift block. I bought a 1" shackle lift kit for my 12, to compensate for the 2" level i put on . Should sit nicley.

Except I have 3 inch level up front a drop would bring it way down

That small of a block combination it's okay for them to stack, it's when people stack blocks of 4" or greater on top of each other that it becomes a problem.

Ah OK that makes me feel better. But if I do decide to go up it to a three inch block are my u bolts OK? I'm guessing there stock.

I don't personally like to re-use U-Bolts, but that is just me. There really isn't any reason you can't re-use them.

Don't reuse U bolts. They aren't that expensive. The thread differs slightly between the U bolts and the nuts to give the nuts more "bite" on the bolt. Better to be safe than sorry. Some folks may disagree when it comes to U bolts, but why not be reassured you're just a little safer.

A kits like 100$ with u bolts vs just 40$ blocks

Dude you've got a +$20k truck and you're concerned about spending $60 more on u-bolts? Really?

If I don't need it yes.
