If you crank the lift to 5", then you would want to go with the 4" rear block. If you plan on keeping it at 4", then go with the 3" rear block. Make sense?

Yes that is what I'm saying, unless you like the front end jacked up and the back end sitting low.

I have the front set about 4 1/2", and went with the 4" block. It sits pretty level.

I think the 3'' block is more for guys that want to run 33s and 4'' for 35s.
