No rear block suspension...

Looking at a persons Toyota from different town I know and she 6 inches height with no body lift running 35 I look at her pickup rear end it just has bigger shock. Length. No blocks not even bigger shackles.

Is it possible to just grab bigger shackles to help with the leaf springs and run no blocks on 4 inch suspension?

Okay so I saw a Toyota non SAS that has no blocks in rear just had biggers shocks to raise the bed and I think 2 inch body lift. And lifted 6 inch or more. Running 35's


Now my question is I'm running 4
Inch suspension could I swap in bigger shackles and bigger shocks to balance out 4 inches so I don't have to have the worst ride going over any bumps

Shocks don't lift these trucks. The shock is only a dampener.

Do you want to lift the front or rear? And are you asking about a truck you have now or the truck that is for sale?

It could have add a leafs or a totally different spring pack. It's not uncommon. You could get add a leafs, or Old Man Emu springs. There are many other companies that make spring packs that require new spring perches. 63" Chevy springs are a common swap. Shackle lifts are not always a good idea for daily driver trucks. Shackle lifts can mess up the pinion angle and cause vabrations and/or ruin u-joints.

Ummm....wha?

IFS = Independant Front Suspension. Leaf springs go in the back. 63" Chevy springs are leafs.

The only way to lift the rear is with new leaf springs, an add-a-leaf, a ZUK mod, or shackles. This chick has one of those.

Around here you don't see chevy 63's in ifs so I had no idea. I know they go in the back but I've only seen seen 63's in straight axle.

Holy cow, this thread is painful to read...

It doesn't matter if the truck has independent front suspension or a solid axle, you can put 63" Chevy springs in the rear.

63" Chevy springs only will only lift your truck about 3-4" roughly. I would think they were lift springs that came in a kit or some kind of hybrid pack. Since I don't know of any company that sells 6" lift springs, I'd say they might be a hybrid pack.

Another thing it might be, which I doubt but I'll say it anyway, it could have had air shocks, maybe used in conjunction with lift springs.

That or it really isn't a 6" lift...
