Cutting down body lift blocks ?

[screamin reel]

I have a 3" body lift. Is it possible to cut down the blocks to 2" ?
Not sure which brand they are. Sort of a honeycomb around the center hole.
Trying to get the truck in the garage and every inch would help.
Would dropping to a 2" effect any other things on my truck like drivelines, brakelines etc ?
Thanks

You should be able to cut the blocks without any problems . Your drivelines will not be effected .
Your braklines from the master cylinder to the distribution block will be the only thing to watch for but only if they are hard lines . They may kink when lowering the body . You should also loosen the steering column and the steering shaft as theymay need adjusting ..

Hope this helps ....Good luck !

Yes, they cut down just fine. I suggest a band saw, that's how I've cut them down in the past.

Make sure that your hardware has enough thread to run the nut down another inch. You may need to pick up new bolts if yours don't have enough thread.

Other than the stuff mentioned above, and this, you'll be good to go.

Don' forget to check clearance of the radiator shroud.

I used a hose clamp as a guide, and cut them with a reciprocating saw.

Thanks everyone.
I figure with an inch off she will just clear. Better than airing down every time I want to take her out.
