I just picked up my new truck yesterday. I am going to Houston on Friday to have 4 wheel parts put on the Ready Lift Leveling kit and new shocks. Do you have any pictures of the off-center?

I was going to have taller blocks put in the rear, maybe a 5" or a 6" if available, but they are telling me that no one makes a 1-piece block for my truck that tall. I will be towing a gooseneck from time to time, so I do not want double stacked blocks for sure and surely do not want the add-a-leaf.

Any suggestions on the rear?

Thats why the "good" lift companys...Icon for example recommend a adj track bar as every 2" of lift can move the axle 1/2-3/4"

Wouldnt be scared of double stacking rear blocks, pretty common practice. My 99 w a 4" pro-comp lift had the factory 2.5" (i think) block plus a 1.5" additional block that came with the lift. No problems at all.

We have 5" and 6" one piece blocks in stock and are only 1 day UPS from you. Available on-line here: Rear Lift Blocks - Truck Toyz Store

The Rize 6" blocks are '08 SD specific and feature offset center pins for proper axle centering. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks

Question Offset Pin Blocks - ?

Marty, I purchased the Donahoe 4.5" kit off of you about a year ago for my 08 F250. (Love the Lift!)

Anyway, when we spoke, you had recommended going with a 5" block due to me using 37" tires which we did. I did not get the ones with the off-set pins as I don't think you had any then so my axle has always sat back a-little & looked goofy in the wheel well.

I was thinking of going with the Rize off-set pin blocks to correct this but noticed you only offer 4" & 6" blocks on your site. Does Rize or someone else make an offset pin block in a 5"? I like the way my truck sits now with a std 5" - would the 6" offset lift it too much more or the 4" offset lower it a lot?

Wondering..........hmmm......

Help - ?

Thanks - Rob Warner

We currently only offer the Rize blocks in 4" & 6". However will soon be offering something innovative which will suit your needs perfectly. We hope to announce these in the coming weeks so stay tuned. Thanks
