i think the only leaf springs available are 2" so
you would have to use 2" leaf and 1" block...It
will make for a rough ride. the block will just
lower it and not affect the ride....go with a 3"
block, cheaper and just as effective. make
sure you pay the cash to get decent
ones...none of that AIM BS.

Here are two companies that make a 2/3 drop using coils and leaf springs, Hotchkis and Groud Force. The Hotchkis is best but has a harsh ride, while the Groud Force kit is good, a little softer, and less expensive.
Why lower an R/T the cheap way (3" blocks), when you can do it the right way. No one can pay me enough to put 3" blocks on my R/T. If price is the issue, I'd go with shackles and/or hangers before ever considering blocks.

i believe the shackles will ride better then the blocks. think of it like this - when you put the blocks in, its like decreasing your load capactiy, putting the springs at a lower rate. with a good set of shocks, it wont make too big of a difference between shackles and blocks, so its no big deal which you choose... also remember, the factory r/t drop is composed by the coils and leaf springs, if you put 2 inch leaf spring on, it will only lower you one inch....
