Default Stock blocks?

If i take my rear stock blocks out the back to squat my truck like the chevys around here will it hurt anything? I just want to see what it looks like and drive around a few days to make the chevy guys cry haha

Why would you want to make your truck like a Chevy that was made to look stupid? I don't know if it would hurt anything in the short run but I would think over time it wouldn't be good.
By the way, that is far and away the dumbest looking thing on the road when I see one like that. But hey, that's just my opinion and it's your truck. Have fun with it.

It's a ton of work for something to impress some dumb asses who have no taste.

It's your truck, do what you want with it, but squatting makes your truck look like a little bitch. You lose flex, suspension travel, looks stupid ruins weight transfer, and I'm sure screws up your driveline angle.

If you do it,paint your truck a different color and come back here under a new name if you ever want to be taken seriously again.

You're looking at a couple hours work both ways.... Not worth the time
