Source for Steel lift spacers for sagging rear

[rapom]

I have a 79 Chief that I would like to level so it only needs about 1/2" to 3/4" get there. I even to out the spare but that didn't help. Does anyone know where I could find some steel spacers is smaller than 1" sizes?

Are you talking lift blocks? If so, those are very easy to come by. Any lift block meant for a 2.5" wide spring should work.

Lift blocks are what I'm talking about. Seems that the smallest steel ones I can find go only as low as an inch.

What about using longer shackles? That's a pretty benign option on the rear axle, and a 1" longer shackle nominally will give you 1/2" of lift.

Most that choose lift block want height and are not trying to level, so there's no market for a 1/2" block. Another option would be buy 1" blocks and have a local machinist thin them to 1/2 or 3/4.

Found this guy - http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/Shims.shtml He advertises shims, but he'll make blocks.

You can't use a lift shackle in back.

A 1" block should be fine for you. It actually may not be enough. I had to use a 2" block in the back of my Cherokee to get it back level.

Thanks for the link and the tips. I think I will mock up a piece of wood at 1 in. to see what it looks like before I order.
Thanks again.

A little extra lift over the front will not be noticeable and will compensate some for extra cargo you might haul.

For 1" lift I would do the Zero Rate Add a Leaf. Its basically a 1" steel block, but it bolts to the spring pack using the center bolt, so there is no way for it to be spit out if the ubolts get loose.

Thats the best lift block yet. I will probably go this route. Thanks for the link!
