65 c10 lowering block question

I was talking to a guy and he was telling me he has seen guys run 4 inch lowering block on trailing arms. I thought 4 inch blocks was a little excessive but has anyone seen this? If so, im thinking about trying it. Ive got 22's and a thorbros notch. This would be on a bag setup. Any info is appreciated.

Re: 65 c10 lowering block question

I believe most people will only use 1.5 to 2" blocks. I've never even seen a 4" block for sale. Depends to on scrub line, what size wheels you have. With 15" wheels most will say 1.5 is the most due to if you had a flat tire the arm would bottom out.

Re: 65 c10 lowering block question

A block also pushes the wheel forward with a set of trailing arms. With the wheel already looking to far forward with the wheel opening location that would compound the issue.
