Can't figure out lift/lowering blocks..Help asap

[THXdts]

In the directions, it says if I install it like this in the pic, it will lower the truck, but it looks to me that it will raise it? If so, how do I install the blocks to lower it?

Thats gonna lower the truck. Your pushing the axle up away from the spring pack.........meaning your dropping the truck...what 2"? Thats axle over spring, you 2wd 1st gen?

Yes sir, so in that pic, it will indeed drop the truck? I just really don't understand it. Thanks for the quick response. And if that indeed drops the truck, how is the shock gonna reach the bottom plate?

[Inyourface1650]

your pushing the axle closer to the bottom of the truck, so the shock will reach just fine. Now it might start bottoming out, but your gonan need ew shocks anyway

the leafs are connected to the truck not the axle. the axle will always be in the same spot when comparing it to the ground whether you lift or lower (unless you put bigger tires on etc.) therefore with a leaf under setup like your 2wd has, putting blocks between the leaf and the axle will place the leafs closer to the ground in result, dropping the truck. elementary my dear watson. :-p

you're not pushing the axle away, it basicly stays in the same place, you are lowering you're leaf springs which lowers the truck,

EDIT: the stock shocks should still fit

and to top it off...I hate lowered trucks

this is probably one reason why
