I know, I know I am just picking. But I did hear that Isuzu dosen't have blocks, plus think of the fuel savings.

Hey guys, I got a question about lifting my truck. I've got an 04 F-350 Dbl Cab FX4. I want to lift it but don’t want it to be too high. Now I know that's going to be personal preference. Here's my question… I want to go 4in..., maybe. If I do and I want the truck to sit level, should I go with a 4in in the front and like a 2in in the back? Oh and I've kind of looked around but not a whole lot and it looked like I might have to have something called a trac bar spacer (I think) for something on the front end. Is this true? Or can I just get a set of blocks and some longer u bolts and be ready to go? Any info on this would be great. I plan on doing this my self so really..... Any info will be helpful. Thanks...

Blocks are great till you hit a few bumps that cause your blocks to unstack and suddenly you are five miles from pavement, without the tools to put them back and no way to jack up and restack the blocks.

yes...they work...but it's 50/50

either you can buy brand new springs for the same price....or you will still have BIG blocks,..but you'll have traction bars now too.

preference....that's all......I saved my money,...got the right size springs,..and traction bars.
