Who sells that? I've looked. And unless they're custom made I suppose, all the brand name kits seem to max out at 3''.

I have two questions regarding a 4" lift:

01.) I need to maintain my factory rake, as I tow often....Where do i buy a 4-5" rear block?

02.) What back spacing and offset are you guys running? It is so confusing to me. I have been looking at XD Rockstar II's 20"x 9", 4.5" back spacing with a -12 offset?

I have been looking at a website called custom offset....very helpful with a ton of pics of our trucks lifted. I see people with a 5.5" back spacing with + 18 offset too?

I plan on running Nitto Terra Grappler G2's 295 / 60R20's

I've got a pair of 4" BDS blocks for sale that I haven't had a chance to take a pic of (with my name and date) so I haven't listed them. I'll post them up tomorrow.

Wrong. You can order any bds parts you want through any authorized bds dealer. Ask me how I know!

BDS, Readylift, ...

I did a google search and found readylift 3, 4 and 5 all for sale (new) from sites other than ebay.

Can't win, if I had a crystal ball the 3:73's would have been in this rig.
I may be a little late (but only a month)

I run 3.55s with my 35's. I've got the 5.0 motor. It's slower than stock, for sure. But it's not a dog by any means. Faster feeling than the old 5.4s with stock wheels by a large margin
