that's a no no my brother...you need to pull out the stock blocks....it's not Safe to run them like that....then your truck will be level and you can still fit 35's with only minor trimming

If you want to do that be my guest...but I wouldn't. I've been off roading for 20 yrs and have never seen anything good come out of have stacked blocks that = 5".

Now you can add 2" AAL's with just your 3" blocks and will be ok. Then you can add the keys and you will still be a tad high in the back.

Maybe you just need a 3" BL if you don't want to spend much on a lift.

no prob....I know you want the max lift with the min amount of money but just the 3" block and your T bars cranked with 35's will be a good look untill you can get your 3" BL. But it's your truck so you do what you want

Thanks! I have a lifted truck as well but it's a chevy that I just finished. And it's nothing special since I'm going to be taking it out to the desert. Save the Ford Beat on the Chevy
