REAR BLOCK KIT

Posted

Hey guys,

 

On my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Diesel I installed the 2" Thuren coil springs and shocks.  My truck now sits "front high."  Based on the attached photo would you kindly assist me in determining if the rear block kit is lifted or is it the OEM standard height?  I was told that my the rear suspension looks to be stock height as the 2nd gen trucks have factory 4 5/8” blocks.  Can someone please confirm?

 

If I want to balance my truck back off, what size blacks should I get?

Thats what mine sits on. It is very possible your rear springs have sagged over the years and the new fronts are showing it up. I think mine have sagged some what on all 4 corners. Dont know for sure.

My new Thuren coils and shocks are about 5 months installed.

LOOKING BACK AT SOME PICS, mine was actually nose high for a while...way longer than i remember.

 

they have been in for about 2 yrs now, and some coil noise when cycling.

I would get a different set of springs for the rear and get rid of blocks all together for better ride. Put some air bags for lost support and maybe some ladder bars to keep springs from s ing.

Edit 

Maybe even reverse shackle flip
