RE: Lowering a Truck is Stupid??

As I stated before...there's a right way...and a wrong way.

A proper Lift/Lower of the suspension should be done with either springs,
axle relocation brackets (C-Notch), and/or a combination of blocks and
springs. Using JUST blocks is asking for trouble. Sure it's cheaper and
easy to remove...but just think what'll happen when some pothole (or bump)
in the road decides to remove one of them for you.

I've added 3.5" of lift in the back of my truck...without any blocks. I
could lower it (from stock) 2"...without any blocks either.

I lovered my truck with 4" angled lowering blocks, 20 minutes to install
and would be the same to take out, no rivets popped out
