Default Rear block installation question

Thinking about putting oem 4wd rear blocks on my 2wd screw. I think the blocks are 1-1/4". Will i need longer rear shocks or will my stock 2wd shocks work with the new blocks?

you'll definitely need longer bolts. you probably only have 1/2-3/4 inches of thread left on the bolts you have now. With a 4x4 block, I don't think the nuts would even catch the threads, let alone have enough sticking out.

your shocks will be fine with the taller blocks, but as stated you need longer u-bolts to install the taller blocks.

You can find used blocks and u-bolts from 4x4's in the classified section of the forum. I know that I have mine listed there.
