I am not a fan of blocks but I think 1" would be okay. I would not go any bigger for sure.

I looked them up but not sure exactly what they do. Plus they want $135 for something that looks like what you mount a garage door opener on.
Yes I am a cheapskate! A broke cheapskate

Even going over a curb to fast they rub man. So I would say go with 31's or throw a lil more lift on....hope this helps...u can go to my pro as well if ya wanna see what it looks like to..they does look good though with the 33's

Sorry. Had to.

Lol...I hear ya for sure...but to try to and explain them a lil more...there's a write up on them somewhere I just can't remember where..but u can get those and a stiff shackle. If look at the rear of ur leaf and where's its bolted in...its in part of a box...well the kit goes over it and extends the mounting point of the shackles lowered which therefore creates more lift with the shackles and better flex...yea their 135 bucks...but u can get one set of stiff shackles for pretty cheap and that kit, u can always adjust to whatever height u want just by sliding the shackles up the tracks on the relocator, and it will provide a smooth ride on top of that...a lot more than a block would for sure...but hope whatever u choose works for ya man..
) Actually those look pretty cool after seeing how they were installed. Now I gotta convince myself to part with $135!
