Question about lowering blocks..

Is it possible to use a set of lowering blocks in the rear, if it has coil springs?

But were would you place the blocks? because I have seen trucks with leaf springs that have them and I know that it can't be installed the same way. I want to add a 1in lowering block to level my back with the front.

if you have coils it goes between the rear axle and the trailing arm, (under neath the axle, and above the trailing arm) with longer U bolts

A 2" block is prettyclose to max if you are running 15" wheels.....much more, & you will be below "scrub lines". crazyL

put 3 inch drop blocks in .....drop in a 800hp motor, lighten up the front...and put gas shooting nozzles on the rear bumper , i think this will show using the scrub line to its full potential
