I just ordered a dayton 1 1/2" kit for my 98 2wd dually.I will let you know how it turns out after i get and install them.I do know that if you go over 2 " you will need to get shocks but that would be a lift kit.

i built my own leveling blocks for my 4x4 when i replaced the axle but if i had to do it again i would get some carrier springs and bilstien shocks thats the best way imo but leveling block work all right mine have lasted but i always over do stuff i bet u could drive a tank on the blocks i built with no prob anyway just my opinion on leveling kits good luck
