I think he's just passionate about his vehicles and the way they look. I don't recall seeing anything styled that way and I can't picture it. To each his own. If I want to do something and someone don't like it, it don't matter. If you do it be sure to put a pic up.

How big are the rear blocks on trucks like ours? If they are only an inch I'd be very tempted to rip 'em out, add some wheel spacers and be happy with my 2 inch level.

I don't know if you've thought about this, but a 2" spring spacer and some 1.5 inch level springs, rip out the rear blocks and BAM! (Or you may not even need the rear blocks gone). Don't take me too serious, I'm still not sure if you can run 3.5 inches of front lift with stock radius arms and everything else

I am curious about those things too. I want a little bit of a lift. I have 31's and stock height except for helper springs in the rear. the rear is like 4" higher than the front. I wanted to take the rear stock block out and put a little bit higher aftermarket ones in place of. Then maybe put longer springs in the front to level it. I would think a 4" lift and level would be the end result. Heres a pic for anyone who wants to see. Oh and mine is a 94 4x4.
