 Subject: R/T question...
IP: Logged
Message:
I just dropped my R/T in the front but trying to figure out how much to drop it in the back? I cut one coil off my stock springs and cut the bump stops off (sitting perfect in front now), how can I figure out which blocks I'll need for the rear? Also, haven't ridden her on the street yet but can anyone tell me if stock shocks will work? 99 RC R/T Thanks.

Dan- That's exactly what I did on mine and I have a 3 1/2" block in the rear custom made by my machinist. The truck sits perfectly level...

Doc,
How does the rear block go in now. I don't quite have the whole adding block concept figured out yet. Wheere does everything go, what gets bolted down etc...Thanks!

Support the rear axle and suspenion, now unbolt the u-bolts and let the jack down so the suspension falls. You will see that they go atop the leaf. Trust me, you can't put them on wrong.

you could put them in backwards...LOL just make sure that the tallest part of the block is to the back of the truck or else you'll f*ck up your driveshaft.

Yeah but most blocks I have seen aren't even angled, they are straight so there would be no way to screw it up. Back in the day they didn't even have angled blocks so I had to buy pinion shims.

Good point. For me though it was impractical my angles would have been just enough off to really go through those U joints :( haha so I had my machinist put a half inch rake on them. worked out great!
