this look right?
i took a snap shot of my rear lift blocks. do these look right? or are they some home grown setup? what should my total block height be?[IMG]https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...05-08_1411.jpg[/IMG]

That there is a poor mans lift kit. Make sure that thing is tight. Might torque your axle right out of those.
|
do you have any idea how big the factory lift blocks are? my truck isn't that big
|
ohh man thats a ghetto lift. i would watch that rear end and axle wrap.
|
Wheel hop the driveshaft right outta there.
|
That defiantly does not look right. I look like a piece of 2" sch 80 square tube to me maybe even a cut off from a receiver hitch (with the hole in it). Plus if I'm seeing the pic right its welded to the spring perch. The block on my W350 measures 6 1/4" from the perch on the rear to the bottom of the leaf pack.
|
i just measured my get-up from the leafs to the perch is 4" thats quite shorter than yours. what do you think. do the 350s have bigger blocks?

My W250 has a 6" rear block as well. |

here is what came on my 92
fist for reference size http://www.impaks.com/images/ken/dodge/100_2610.jpg |
those are huge!! anyone have a distance between spring to frame rail?
i do know that the truck has newer front springs from stanley springs. tried to email them but they never got back to me |
70's thru 93 cab/chassis trucks had 6" block as pictured directly above (dually) 4 wd
70's thru 1991 W150-350 pickups had 3" block 4wd (That's why the front was higher than rear) 1992-3 W250, 350 had same 6" block as above photo. 4wd ( gives the trucks that rake effect) Can't speak for the 2 wheelers but I believe no block. The blocks are left and right sided as there is a slight degree of angle for pinion to t-case line up. Good luck finding them, no aftermarket in 6", if that's what you need, only lift kits with add a blocks which are about as wrong as it gets. None available anymore from dealers, that I found. |
my truck sits really good. if i put the bigger blocks it definitely will sit bed high
|
Well then, measure the distance between the perch that the block is on top of and the bottom of the lowest leaf spring and find a block that is about that height. Or better yet, change out your springs for a pair that will still give the truck the same ride height and eliminate the blocks completely, or lower the back hangers.
