lift blocks under your leaf springs are really a bad idea....... if you go off road at all. in the front coil isolators are under $40 for 1-3/4" poly's i would do those and shackles are the most economical and in expensive way to go because the shackles can be made.

hey, thanks guys. and mike mike, the link helps. it gives me a good idea to do them. and i agree with the shakles idea, sflxj. i figured doin shakles would be the best way to go for the rear anyway.
