Hey Guys,
Looking for a set of 2" lift blocks for my 86 Silverado (2wd) to level out the ride height in the rear. I've looked around the interwebs and would like to know what company sells a good product?

Thanks

These trucks sat higher in the rear to start with. Yours is lower in the rear than the front?

Any cast steel lift blocks will work fine. There's some now that are welded steel and are hollow, I don't care for those ones but I guess they work. Avoid the cheapo aluminum lift blocks that tend to be stocked at your local parts stores.

It does sit lower by about 2.5". I have replaced the leaf springs and shocks in the rear.... Yeah I wouldn't use the aluminum ones.

I used Fabtech on my truck. They're cast iron.

This is something I am interested in doing also myself. Truck sits pretty level currently but I would like to give it a bit of a rake. What all do I have to possibly change to do this such as brake lines etc.?:party52:

With something like a 2" block your brake lines should be fine. Just get new U bolts and add the blocks.
