Check with magnumhp for some billet lowering blocks....They've sold them in the past....no need for new springs as long as your's are in good shape.  ;)

Yup.

Blocks are the way to go. :2thumbs:

I've got 1" blocks in the rear along with HD leaf springs, and the height is just about perfect.

I lowered the rear end with 1-1/2in lowering blocks I made. You can buy them  in most any parts
stores now. They are for lifting trucks, but put them on the other side of the leaf
springs and it lowers the vehicle.
I lowered the front end by turning the tortion bar bolts down to the lever I liked 2in lower.
lower than stock, you will need to do another front end alignment after doing this.

Never had any problems with using lowering blocks, they have been in for 26yrs now.
