yep used the lower mounts for the uppers. This only works on an 8 or more lift though... The rear is with blocks, but custom ones! I made them myself. U-bolts pass through the blocks and they have integrated mounts for my rear ladder bars that I have not yet made. Working on that.

I will get some close up shots tomorrow. Used a 6" spring and 2" puck

That looks great.


The rear lift sounds beefy with the bolts going through the blocks. Get us some pics.


As far as blocks in the rear, there okay with some traction bars. There are PLENTY of vehicles running around on tall blocks in the rear, just not with 1000+ ftlbs of torque usually and 6" is about as big as I've seen. I've got some extremely beefy carbon steel blocks in the rear of mine, but traction bars to control the axle wrap. I drag race and sled pull with them and have had absolutely no problems. My truck rides better now than it did stock.


Again, your truck LOOKS AWESOME!! Nice work.

from the looks of it, it has the 6in superlift and a leveling kit spacer to gain the other 2 inches

nfsommer doesnt like the blocks in the rear but I would like to see the u bolts threw the block, this would save a buttload of $$$$ for the rear parts, Great Idea
