    Welcome. I just did a 3" block and it was cutting it close but I think my springs are a little wore out. But I'm sure you can get a way with 4" and make sure you take off your bump stops for a little more clearance. :waytogo:

    When I started my project & was static dropped , I run dropped springs & 2'' angled blocks @ the rear. The 3rd member would hit ,so installed the 8 piece c-notch that was going in @ a later date!!:cool:

    I have 2" blocks and my leafs are so worn they almost look flat and no one believes it's only 2" of drop cause it definitely looks like more based on the wear.

    Pulling a leaf makes the back way to soft IMO. If you wanna maintain some handling or load capability I would just go with the blocks to get where you want.
