9 in suspension

[devldog84]

Now im sure this is gonna be a stupid question to some but i was interested in a 9" suspension lift but was curious as to the blocks that come with it. Every site that i've seen with it says its a rear leaf pack but comes w/ blocks. Are the blocks a certain inch of lift or is it strictly something dealing with the degree of lift?? Also, if they're running it, how do u like the 9"? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Last I saw..., there were NO floods in TEXAS..!!! :wacko: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Actually., ya.., the blocks are part of the lift... i.e. a 2" block would add 2" of lift on any "spring over" axle set-up.

I have a 9 in..But the guy before me didnt use the blocks..He had the rear leafs re-arched to give it the 9 inches..SO I have no blocks in the back..And I dont know why they have the leaf packs AND blocks..Like Bully Bob said it cold be a 2 inch block..So why not just make them with out blocks..And besides my front springs being a little stiff even after almost 25 years everything still works as it should.

Oh ok, I didnt even think about re-arching them, that sounds like a good way to go. I guess I could take them to the local auto shop or welding shop maybe. I'm gonna stick to the 9 inch. Yeah it doesnt make sense to have blocks AND the rear leaf pack, lol.

And yeah, i live in a border town near the rio grande river, about a year and a half ago we actually had a flood. A good part of the town was halfway under water!! lol it was crazy!!

The only thing I notice is after all this time,probably from wheeling since I got it,is that it seems the rear is sagging just a little.But I have 1 inch steel blocks that Im going to throw in to level it out...I cant complain though..Anything else, just ask :lol:
