Question moog 844 coils AND 2 inch coil block?

while i have my suspension all apart, i figured id ask;

i bought the moog 844 coils because of seeing pictures, but still see a small difference in level with rear, so to compensate i bought the spacer blocks as well.

Any issues running both? got skyjacker 0 - 2 inch lift shocks, and am also doing new coil spring housings due to one being cracked in half.

have adjustable caster/camber bushings as well, any advice or warnings?

please help.

Don't do it, the truck won't align and your tires will wear unevenly.

Yea, you need lift brackets for anything over 2".

just removed the rivets from the housings to put the new ones in, so your both sure that the 2 inch block and coils is not a good idea? would i need drop brackets for the radius arms or somthing?

You'd need all the drop brackets from a 4" lift, you'd need the axle pivot drop and radius arm drop, cheaper to buy the kit.
