I have a 2002 FX4 Scab and I defintely need the torsion keys to get to 24.25 inches. I have about 1/8 inch of threads left on my driver side bolt and im only at 23.25 inches.

Im wondering if the shocks are worth it though...will they give my truck a smoother or rougher or equivalent ride to my stock ranchos?

Lastly, I know its not safe to stack blocks but could you get away with stacking this one inch block since it aint too big and my truck is just a daily driver and never has and never will be of roaded or is it best to just buy a 3 inch blocks?

The kit is designed to stack the blocks. So your good there. as for the shocks. IMO, the rough country shocks will work for about a month and then start ridding rough. Your ranchos should have enough slack to be able to still use them.

I thought we covered this, stacking blocks is always a bad idea. Just my ( and a lot of other peoples ) opinion.

it is a bad idea and is a great reason to fail a vehicle for inspection in the state where i live. So apparently the Pa DMV also thinks this is a a bad idea.


dont stack blocks people. its just dumb. Esp in the backyard mechanic world where your average amateur tech has basic hand tools and is probably not capable with out air tools of torquing the new u bolts tight enough to really clamp it down. stacking blocks is just asking for trouble

If there were any true machinists here (not button pushers lol) they can fabricate blocks for anything. I've made several for leaf spring and coil systems. The only problem I've seen is people use bad materials or make them to small. That being said, use a bigger block for your system as it will likely not void any possible warranties on your truck. Also will cost a lot less unless you build them yourself.
