Custom lift block??

[K10 DELUXE]

Hello there! I just joined the site today so I hope I'm posting this in the right place. Went to the local chevy dealership and looked at one of those factory built lifted trucks and got an idea from it....I have an 85 k10 and want to lift it 6 inches (just a cruiser, no offload) and I saw on the new truck that they built the rear lift block with the bottom of it cut at an upward angle to achieve lift and at the same time rotating the pinion angle up also. Just want to see if anybody has done this and if it worth the effort. Thanks!

most lift blocks have an angle like that

Buy em...usually 80 bux or so with the u-bolts. Maybe 100, quicker and easier.

Problem with buying them is there usually casted and they break way to damn easy. I have a buddy that Is going to build some that are a little different, I will see about getting some pictures of them if he will allow it.
