I cranked the torsion bars 2" up front and now I want to go with some blocks in the rear. Does anyone know a good place to get them for an 03 QC 4X4?
I heard you can buy universal blocks from the local auto parts stores, anyone had any experience with these? Also I would need longer u-bolts and I am assuming I can find those anywhere?

I used the blocks for lowering mine from Autozone. They worked fine except that I had to widen the hole on one side that goes to the leaf spring. They were aluminum and had no problem with them.

I know 8banger already has blocks, I think he said from PepBoys...
fgnbfgbcxgbcf- What PN did you use from JCWhitney? They don't cross reference anything for any Dak or any dodge newer than 00. I know that the rams have the same 9.25" axle as me so it should work as long as my leafs are 2.5" wide (which I think they are, need to check though). Looking at the 1" block kit for $34.99.
Thanks

Holy crap!!
Looks like the only thing undamaged in that pic is the rear slider!
Any personal injury?
