You really can't tell too much of a difference, really. I installed some 3/4" lowering blocks on my truck last night. Why 3/4", you ask? Well, I wanted to go a tad lower in the rear, but didn't want to spend $70+ on a set of drop blocks. While under the truck one day, I noticed I still had some U-bolt threads showing under the nuts. I had exactly 3/4" of thread, so I had a buddy of mine at a machine shop make the 3/4" blocks to use up all the threads on the U-bolts.

I like the way the rear looks now, but I feel the front needs to come down about another 1/2" now. Your thoughts?
