2 inch lift from O'Reillys?

[1996k1500]

Okay guys so I have this one question. I found rear lift blocks for $36.99 at O'Reillys. It includes everything, including the block. But I just have one concern about the block. I think its Aluminum, but it isn't solid. From the side its solid but from the top it is hollow except for a thick 1/2inch piece in the middle. its kindof hard to explain. But anyway, I was thinking a 2 inch lifting block from O'Reilly's and some 3/4ton Torsion bars from a junkyard with keys for a quick 2 inch lift.
What do you guys think?

No. Don't get aluminum blocks. That's just asking for trouble.

Yeah I kinda figured but wasnt sure.
Anyway, I'm thinking about getting a 3inch suspension lift from Rough Country. $600 bucks isnt too bad.

 

[Horns]

$600 isn't worth 3" by any means. If you're gonna spend that much you should just save a little more and get the 6".

If you want a cheap 3" you can get a 3" body lift for under $200.

well 6inch is a grand. And i dont wanna do the body lift. some people tell me its easier but i dont like it too much. not if it is my daily driver.

Or u can get 3/4 or 1 ton springs and bars from said junk yard. That will give u a 2-3" lift fer cheap.

 

[1996k1500]

yeah this junkyard wont let me take the leafs.

 

[shelbyt.67]

??? find another. Fuq em.
I actually find alot more parts on C-list without the junkyard hassle.

 

[1996k1500]

yeah i might look for a junker on c-list for cheap and get those parts. but with the 3/4ton/1ton torsion bars wont that eat my ball joints?

No more so than any other lift imo. Any increase in angle is gonna stress the steering linkage some.
