ok heres the problem
im lookin for a 5 inch lift kit for my 2500
dont have to be long arm as long as it has arms w/kit

my big question is how am i gonna use the blocks that come w/kits since i already have the big 4.5 blocks that come stock on my truck

will i have to stack these blocks?
is that safe? 4.5+5" block stack?
what kit to get thats not super expensive

 

well i know tuff country has a 5" lift i saw one ebay for $700 and thatshttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-02...mZ230170205278
i know skyjacker has there 4.5" lift and thats 1200 or more depending on which setup you go with. Superlift has one too

the rcd 6" kits are being sold really cheap

 

Most lift kits for pick-ups don't lift the rear as much as the front, A 5 inch lift will raise the front 5 inches, but the rear is usually only lifted 2-3 inches. This is done since most trucks sit lower in the front stock, and most people prefer there truck to sit level after a lift kit is installed. So no you won't be stacking a 5 inch block on top of your stock block, more like a 2 or 2.5 inch block. BUT.....

Stacking blocks is not a great idea no matter how small they are. Look for a lift that uses add-a-leafs or even better a full replacement leaf pack to raise the rear. At the very least buy a single large block, that equals the height and angle, that the stock block+the lift kit block would come to.

 

That's weird i have never seen kits that "Stack Blocks". It should come with a spring pack that will just sit on your exsisting factory block.

 

thanx for the replys
i think im not going to do a kit
im going to purchase a long arm kit then piece together the lift.
i really want 5-8 from where it sits now w/2"spacer
