- '21 LT with OEM 2" Trail Boss Lift Kit 3.0L
Hey yall,
I've got a '21 LT 3.0 that has the OEM 2" inch Trail Boss Lift Kit. I'm looking to reverse level my truck. I'm looking at this option:
Swap the factory 2" blocks for .5" aftermarket universal rear blocks and some new U-Bolts. These are the ones I'm looking at. The pin size matches, the only thing is not the height or width, but the length of the blocks.
1. Instead of the factory 4" length, these are 5". I'm not sure if that will be an issue, but I think it may be okay because there only'd be about a half inch of overhang on each of the axel perches. I'm not sure if the extra inch of contact on the leaf spring would matter, but I'm guessing probably not?
2. I think drive line angles should be fine still.
3. Not sure about the bump stops. This truck doesn't regularly tow or haul. But it does see a lot of gravel and rutted out forest service roads. And it will tow occasionally. I'm fine with some sag, I'm going to be adjusting the headlights. I just worry about bottoming out.
I think the half inch blocks would be perfect to level the truck, instead of 1" rear blocks or removing the blocks all together. Just would love your opinions
