3 inch blocks t-bar crank

I am going to my brothers tomorow to put the 3 inch blocks in, Cant wait...
Today I cranked the t-bars and after i do the blocks I am going to order the uca's (sugestions)
I know I am going to need shocks but do I need to get them right away? moneys tight and I just hope I am not going to cause any bad damage.

ditch the blocks and get aals (the blocks =axle wrap and suck big time if you plan on wheeling it) as for shocks not sure basicly brand of your choice thats longer

They axle rap pretty bad. But shackles flatten the springs out and lower weight capacity. They both suck really. The best is a full custom leaf pack.

they just give lift, they dont help your profroamce off road, if for looks they are fine but when you wheel you'll find downsides quick. basicly they just lower your axle from the leafs, you dont gain any flex and thats one of the big things you need off road

Flex? I am defenitly going to do some off roading (nothing major, yet anyway) but what is flex? Also do i need to get shocks right away?
If not blocks then can you send a link to a cheaper side lift?

as for shocks its wise to get them sooner then later

flex is how well the axle can artuclate one side going up the other going down, the more you have the better because it keeps the tires on the ground, with blocks the spring will only compress and unload the same as stock so that can lead to being stuck or having tracton issues trying to get over a rock
