Hey everyone I need some help.

I have a 1988 v30 single cab dually and the rear suspension has blocks, are these a factory block?

Re: v30 rear suspension help

yeah, I'm thinking this my be some cobbled together lift, the front springs are wavy like they are a generic lift spring for a 1/2 or 3/4 ton but not for the weight of a big block.

Re: v30 rear suspension help

I parted out my 1986 K30 several years ago due to rust - no blocks. It was completely stock when it met its demise.
