That is the same kit that i have on my truck. The lifting blocks have a hole in the bottom which you cant see in the pic and that rasied spot on top to keep the axle in place. If you can duplicate that your golden. As you can see the kit came with U bolts so i didnt try to reuse my stock ones. I have read and heard the the stock U bolts arent long enough. if you try to reuse them you are only hanging on by a couple of threads. Not safe imo. If you do add a block to level it out make sure you tighten the crap out of those U bolts. Then check them a lot. I have had to tighten mine 3 different times but they are goood to go now.
