I will have to look at the spring mounts, I don't think I can do much at this point to alter it so much. I know I have used 4" lift blocks on 4x4 without too much issues. Should be the same?

Two atmospheres are better than one
We did the same in high school on my buddies 4x4. We used I think 4”or 5” blocks under front and rear leafs. It was terrible and when he stood on the gas the rear bounced violently on the street or in the dirt. That’s all the experience I have though with larger blocks. I’ve put 1”and 2” blocks in cars without any effects at all.
Thanks. I was always told block in front are very much no no. Blocks in back are OK, taller springs are better. Never more than 4". I don't know...
So, it warmed up to the low 40s today. Perfect flannel weather, no gloves. Etc.i put in the replacement header studs and cut some more clearance for the header tubes The brake lines are now run, except i need some of the threaded ends. The turret style flaring tool kicks so much ***, i am truly amazed how nice it works. Also, I notched the frame cross member so the brake and fuel lines are now recessed above the bottom of the frame. This should allow a full belly pan, should that be decided on and if there is time. I hope to have the parts to finish up the lines and get started on wiring.
