    I have a 1993 Pickup 2wd and I am currently on 2in blocks in the rear with cranked torsion bars up front. I am planning on doing the DJM 3" lowering control arms for the front and still deciding between 2 options for the rear. My options are 4in DJM blocks or Belltech 3" leaf springs with 1" blocks. Does anyone know if it is worth it to spend the extra money for the leaf springs or should I go with blocks? Right now, the truck rides fine, but a little bumpy in the rear sometimes. Would lowering with leaf springs improve the ride over blocks? Thanks!:)

    Get the leafs. It keeps the rear axle at a better angle then blocks. The ride quality is a lot better then blocks including the side to side feel of the rear going around corners. Dnt forget to upgrade/replace your shocks while you're at it.

    Go to the forum section 'How to articles' and find a great deal of info on the subject.

    Thanks, I'll probably do that. I've already got street performance shocks I am waiting to install
