Blocks

How hard would it be to put 1 inch lift blocks on the back of my truck? What tools do yall think would be required, how much time, and how hard would it be?

Also, what do people charge for things like that?

Thanks

assuming your putting them in to level the rear out "lower" (if f150 i think they are spring under)

wouldnt be hard at all.....might even still be able to use the stock u-bolts....depeding on what your doing it on (asuming f150)

both are the same just jack up on bumper untill no weight is on the rear springs.....
take off/loosen u bolts....
lift/lower truck to where u want it ..
put blocks in and then retighten simple as that really...
only tool that i would really recomend is a breaker bar or torque wrench to tighten the bolts down tight an to break the bolts loose.....some of the ones ive had to do were really frekn tight

should take to long....if you have help it should only take 30-60 minutes if that......not sure of the charge a mech would rate you at but i think its round 35-40 bucks here w/o the new hardware

no, ill put coil spacers on the front, 1.5 inches and then 1 inch blocks in the rear. a guy at school said he would help me, he can get spring compressors and stuff. im thinking of leveling the front out first and then doing the rear another time.

how long do you think coil spacers would take?
