    Great video man. I’m downgrading my 6 inch to a 4 inch lift and I would have thought a 4 inch block would make it level but glad I watched this now I know to get a 5 inch block in the rear

    • @LivinWith3M
      @LivinWith3M  Год назад

      Thank you. Yes if you want it level. Some guys like the rear sagging lower and personally I don’t. Glad I could help bro. 👍🏻

    Finally, someone who knows you DO NOT have to lift a truck to install a lift block. Just need to lift the spring in front of the spring perch to get the block in place.

    Thank you for this video! I'm doing the same with my f150. Taking my 4 inch blocks and replacing it 5 inch blocks.

    Is there no lift needed to on the front? Might sound stupid I’m not super familiar with this stuff

    • @LivinWith3M
      @LivinWith3M  Месяц назад

      I’m not sure what you are asking. If installing a lift kit on the truck, then yes you will have to lift the front of the vehicle.
      But the front of the vehicle is entirely a different set up than the rear

    the kit should have come with new upper and lower spring plates to index the axle slightly forward. i noticed you did not install them? any reason why?

    • @LivinWith3M
      @LivinWith3M  3 месяца назад

      Not really sure. My block kit didn’t include them. Mine seems fine. Had it this way for almost a year now. Thanks for letting me know this I will do some research on it.

    Do you need to get alignment checked after adding/ removing a rear block?

    • @LivinWith3M
      @LivinWith3M  10 месяцев назад

      On the rear No, or at least I never have. Some people may try to talk you into a 4 wheel alignment but I wouldn’t. As long as you did the blocks one side at a time then movement is minimal. Just my opinion

    I was going to get ford to install my new 2 inch blocks but after seeing this I may just do it myself.
    I installed my Corsa sport exhaust with my truck on the ground so this seems like a breeze.

    ok I have a 2 inch block lift in an f150. the suspension is so stiff I crossed some railroad tracks and the untrusted tail pipe broke off. do I have to remove the block and replace shocks or can I just slap some bilstein shocks on and have a softer ride.

    • @LivinWith3M
      @LivinWith3M  Год назад

      You do not have to remove the block to change shocks out. Your blocks are fine. Go bilstein or fox on the shocks and you will love the ride quality then. 👍🏻

    • @LivinWith3M
      @LivinWith3M  Год назад +1

      Mine have two pins to help align them straight. The ubolts have a top collar they fit in to help align also. Some trucks have angled blocks front to back for proper pinion angle. Make sure the angle goes from back tall to front short.

    • @LivinWith3M
      @LivinWith3M  10 месяцев назад

      Lift the truck up and let axle hang. Unbolt the ubolts. Remove block. Then lower jack until axle sits flush. Install 4 ubolt nuts. Now if you’ve added longer u bolts then you’ll need to go back to a factory type ubolt. Hope this helps.

  • @Pens4Life85
    @Pens4Life85 Год назад +1

    This is interesting. I'm planning to go from 5" block to 6" or even 8", I've not seen this strategy of doing on the ground and using the jack to just lift the pack off the blocks. That would sure make it easier.
    However, your video editing points make the video sort of unhelpful. What did you do with the jack on the other side? Did you lift the pack before releasing the nuts? Did this create uneven issues doing the 2nd side?

    • @LivinWith3M
      @LivinWith3M  Год назад +1

      I broke nuts loose only after putting jack under the leaf pack so there would be no pressure on the nuts. The jack was only on the other side so it didn’t block the camera from showing. Place jack on either side of block on the leaf pack.

    • @Pens4Life85
      @Pens4Life85 Год назад

      ​​​@@LivinWith3MI think I'm with you. Specifically at the 7:03 mark, is the jack+wood doing something there? If so, what? How could there possibly be no stress on the nuts if you're lifting the leaf spring pack before breaking the nuts loose? Right at the 7:24 mark, it's like the whole setup shifts or drops or something. What am I missing here...

    • @LivinWith3M
      @LivinWith3M  4 месяца назад

      Correct. Loosen bolts while under load on ground. Have jack under the leaf but not jacked up. Once the bolts are loose then crank the jack and watch the spring and block plate start to separate. Crank it enough and it will separate for enough for you to put a block in there. 🤙🏼

      The jack was only used on the leafs to raise them. Never on the axle.
