Are the lowering blocks the same for a 3/4 ton? Do the U-bolts run through them? The truck is coil sprung in the rear. Thanks

i think so, all though i made my own out of 2" angle iron welded together, all i needed was some longer u-bolts, made my 'burb 2" lower in the rear, had u-bolts made for $36

later

Gearhead, I think you can buy lowering blocks with U-bolts for 20-30.

The lower blocks need to be made of solid stock, as you drive the truck the blocks made that are hollow will crush some and the rearend will start to twist. You can buy a kit for around 20-30 bucks. BBBob
