1" Rear Blocks on a 3500 SRW, thoughts?

[RamGuy84]

Hi, I'm wondering about installing 1" rear blocks on my 3500 srw, to one, give it a better stance in the rear like a 2500 with coils and to help with squat. When I shopping for the truck, I measured and compared a 2500 to a 3500 and the 2500 sat about an inch higher in the rear.

What are your thoughts on doing this? Do you think it'll ride like crap then? I'd likely change out the rear shocks for bilstein 5100s as well.

The guys from Sawtooth USA in Boise said they install 1" blocks on the 3500s and it doesn't cause any issues even if you have the factory air suspension. I don't know how it ride, but I don't think it would make much of a difference. Bilstein 5100s are good shocks. When Carli has their actual 2019 HD kits out, I'll likely do the 3" pintop with their full progressive leaf springs and add a 1" block.

I installed 1 inch ready lift blocks with the stock shocks on my 3500 and all is well with ride and performance.
