Rear Lift Blocks

Anyone know where to get 1" rear lift blocks and new u-bolts. I am about to install the prerunner greg kit and want some rake. I thought about adding 1" blocks or maybe 1.5" blocks, but can't find any.

I am in the process of building up my rear kit. Here are some helpful links:

http://www.customsuspension.com/Products.php
http://www.essentiallyoffroad.com/blocks.htm
http://performancelifts.com/cgi-bin/...eq/tf=sku.html
http://www.stengelbros.com/U-bolts.htm
http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/W_misc.htm

I'm going with 1.5" or 2". You may need the travel limiting straps unless you get longer shocks and longer brake lines. I'm flipping my u-bolts and fabbing a new top plate.

My measurements are as follows (yours may vary): Springs are 2.4" wide. Axle tube is 3.160" OD. I'll post detailed pics and parts list when I'm done.

I put 2" blocks in back with my 2" lift a couple of weeks ago. Keep in mind you have to use square u bolts and not typical u shaped. Also the truck will ride real rough in the back after the lift. yesterday i installed some monroe gas reflex shocks that had longer travel and they smothed out the ride big time. i think it was a monroe 911164. I just saved you about 3 hours of measuring and cross refencing on their website

My Rough Country lift came with 1" rear blocks. I am not using them if you are interested.

I would like to know the part number for sure on the shocks if you have it. Also, thanks for the input. I will post pics when I am done.
