1993 3500 4 x 4 dually
Not sure if my truck has a lift in it or not. It was converted to a flat bed and has a 6" block on the spring. Did they come stock with the block or is ths a lift?

Thanks

Well there were no 3500's in 93. That number didn't happen till the FRT's came out.

A W350 came factory with 6" rear blocks.

W = 4x4

D = 2WD

1st gen dually's have extra big, 5/8" lugs.

300-325ft-lb. Your standard torque wrench won't read close to that.
