Not to hijack but: does anyone know how hard it is to swap out rear blocks? Im think of adding the autospring rear block kit sometime down the road.

SUPER EASY. Jack the truck up. Support the truck by the frame letting the rear hang. Depending on the size of the block you might have to unbolt the brake lines and add a bracket and extend your vent tube. Take the nuts off of the u bolts on one side, supporting that side with a Jack of course, and slightly loosen the bolts on the other side. Just a little. remove the stock block unless the instructions tell you to leave it. Now if you are going over 2 inches you will have to replace your shocks so take the shock loose also. Install the new block with the shorter end facing foward. install your new shock (if needed) and new U bolts. Snug but do not tighten the nuts. Do the other side. Then run the nuts down even as possible. Should take about 45 mins to an hour.
