    Just an fyi since I haven’t seen it posted anywhere even after searching here and on Google, the leaf spring center pin on our trucks is not a bolt like most, it has a 21mm round head, so even though belltech says their lowering blocks fit our trucks, they don’t. I had to buy a 21mm drill bit and drill the blocks to get them to fit, and the top pin was loose in the axle tube but that’s easy to line up as you tighten. I used 2’ blocks on mine because my tires stick out a bit, if you intend to tuck tire you will need 3”+

    Dude 21mm is almost an inch. The head on the center pin cant be bigger than maybe 14mm.

    Please post pictures if you can because no one since the beginning of these trucks has ever mentioned that big of a pin

    Lol, that’s why I posted it…I was quite surprised too and took my truck apart once just to measure since I wanted the proper fit.
    Can you direct me to a link on how to post pics? I took some
