Yes.

Does anyone make blocks for my 02 that are just slightly shorter than the OEM blocks? I'm looking fro some around 1/2" shorter.

I went down to my local stainless steel and aluminum supply shop and picked up 2 pieces of 3" x 5" x 1" solid aluminum blocks. Guy charged me $8 and that included the cutting charge. It is safer to go down and use the block than to go up. Take a look at the higher blocks and they have an angle built in. I would assume it is safe to use the blocks in any lift under 2".

I have a question for those that removed the spacer. Doesn't removing the spacer compress your shocks making it easier to bottom out? I really want to remove my spacers but dont want to ruin something else in turn.
