Which model best works with the 4x4 lift block removed?
Blue spring is what I'm looking at, but from what I can tell the ones online account for the 1.25" block in place.
Assume guys are installing the 2WD version?
I'm not sure which works best but here is what I went thru. I grabbed the blue springs. They came with a spacer block. I didn't install it. My truck is RWD but I added the block from a 4x4 to give it a little rake back after installing a 2 inch puck level up front.
When I installed the Sumos, they were only about 1 inch from the axle at rest. I took it for a spin and first dip/bump I hit in the road, the Sumos contacted the axle tube and it felt like I had no shocks back there. Very jarring. In the end, I ended up cutting to bottom ring of the sumos to give me a bit more breathing room.
I have only added serious-ish weight to the bed a few times over the years and the Sumos def kept if from sagging. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL
I just realized that the reason I ended up having to cut the bottom ring is my dumb bass ordered the unit for the 4x4 instead 4x2. They springs themselves are the same, its the mount that is taller on the 4x4 springs and why it was so close to my axle at rest. Doh. See pics.

Do you have the link for that?
Trying to figure out which blue spring is actually for the 2WD version. I have a haul to do soon where I'll be pretty close to maxing payload with passengers included. Wouldn't mind getting these installed before then.
How do you find the 1000s?
With reverse level and the 2WD version, curious to see how much space I will have. Don't tow heavy or haul heavy too often.
How's daily driving?
Daily driving, they minus well not even be there. The Bilstein 5100s firmed up the rear over the craptacular OEM chit shocks and after I cut the bottom ring off, I have plenty of space to where they will only kick in when I load up the bed with fat chicks. Lol
