You can get 6" or 8" blocks, but you will run into axel wrap if you dont get traction bars . The best option is to get some atlas or deaver custom springs.

2" factory block with 6" leaf springs or huge *** block with AAl. You get what you pay for. If you don't want the huge block it's going to cost some money.

Agreed with the you get what you pay for, just looking for options. I'm new to the truck world and forgot to mention I have pro comp traction bars with 4" fab tec blocks now.

Anyone have any ideas how to safely lift the rear end 7-8" without using 5+" blocks. I wouldn't mind a 4" skyjacker spring and 3" blocks but I can't get anyone to say if my pro comp traction bars will still work with moving the mounting brackets.

I'm stuck just trying to get 37" tires under my truck with a 6" fab tec lift already in place..... Ideas, anyone?
