looking to lift the rear end with a lift block...
Does anybody know the dimensions of the rear block that goes between the leaf springs and the axle? More specifically the spacing and diameter of the 2 holes that are used to align the block with the leaf springs.
I'm looking to raise the rear end up about 1" and the only blocks I can find will raise it 1.75". (My stock blocks are 1.25" tall, and the aftermarket ones are 3" tall). So I think if I make a block that's about 2-2.25" tall I will be just where I want to be.
I put a 2" autospring leveling kit on and now I am dead level, but I want a slightly higher rear end. But if I go with the 3" block, then I will basically be where I started:/ Or maybe there is already a product out there? I'm not really interested in an add-a-leaf.

I just got my truck leveled today. I went with BDS all around. They sell a 1" block that goes with the original factory blocks. The installer said he liked the design and it was the only one he has seen that was an add-on block that would still be stable when installed.
