all spring rear lift

[07powerstroke91]

Instead of using the blocks that came with my 4.5" lift, I want to buy a set of 6" leaf springs and run them with no block at all, which would give 4 inches of lift.

Are there any issues with running no block that I should know of? Will my pinion angle be drastically changed? Where do I get u-bolts that are that short? Thanks

You can get shims to correct the angle if it changes , the u bolts i have made at a driveline shop .

In for basically the same question kinda I just wanna remove my blocks and lower the truck though

the ride won't be as good with lift springs. imo I would stick with the stock springs and get traction block

Thanks for the input, I was looking at doing the same thing.

I have 8" springs with a 3" block so I am used to the ride lol.

Shims that go where?

Also I'm not concerned about ride quality, my truck already rides like **** lol

Different year, but I am running a 4.5 kit and my rear has blocks and a AirLift 5000 bag kit. No sag and perfect for towing and rides great. I would go that route before all spring setup.

Plus no blocks means no bumpstops as well.

I would call Trevor at PMF he will hook you up.

Between spring and axle to set pinion angle.

I know a guy with a 4.5" Icon lift and 6" rear springs, and no blocks...

Thanks. Since my blocks are completely flat now I would assume I don't need any shims under the spring.

Did you have any issues with yours Tank?

 

[TANK'S 250]

No issues..but you will most likely need shims to get the angle perfect, I did

Traction blocks get my vote.

Not if you get good springs.. Deavers or icons.
