Mike or anybody, What are the disadvantages of blocks?? I want to drop my
dak about 2" or 3" in the rear only, just to level it out. I was planning to
use blocks, should I be using shackles/hangers, or should I use the new
de-arched springs??
Thanks!

<<Go with shackles and hangers. Avoid blocks if at all possible.

<<<I have 235/60R15's on mine and with a 3" drop up front they rub. They are
also a little too wide <<and rub the inside of the fender wells when my
stearing is at full lock.
<<I priced the 2/4 drop from Western Chassis and it would be somewhere
around this:
<<kit $349
shocks $149
shipping $70

that's off the top of my head so I'm not sure if that's dead on or not. I
highly recommend their kit!
