They have blocks and U-bolts at Advance Auto Parts. I think everthing will cost you less than $40. Just make sure you get the square U bolts.

I have a suggestion. It's not worth much so feel free to ignore it if you don't like it. I used a set of add-a-leafs with my green keys. Cost around $50. Dealer won't notice it like blocks. Rides the same. Hauls more weight. Looks better than blocks.

I've been wanting to see a truck with that combo COOOOL!

Got any pics of your D-max with green keys, ad-a-leafs, and bodylift?:)

I wouldn't run the Advance block kit,the blocks are aluminum and the u-bolts are much smaller(1/2" I believe compared to the Dmax's 5/8"). Give National Tire and Wheel a call and get a block kit or add-a leaf from them.It may cost a bit more,but they'll last forever.

Are you serious or being a smartass?
Bolts on the old 87-back trucks were round on the bottom went under the axle facing up, nuts on top. Newer trucks have squared u bolts that fit over the springs on the top and face down and bolt through a plate that runs under the axle.

Hey, knowledgable people....and I am being serious.......if you use the Add-A-Leaf, what's the part number for the Chevys, or are they an "all-types" kinda thing?? :confused:

Also, on our HD's, do you need to have longer U-bolts with an Add-A-Leaf?





Hey Hoot, My Momma always said, "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything."

I like my green keys, and the decent ride that goes with them.

Thanks for any help...

You shouldn't need longer u-bolts for an add a leaf, most trucks have an inch of extra bolt sticking out... You will need longer tie bolts that go through the spring pack, they are cheap at the parts store. Add a leafs are pretty general most places just say 2-2.5 inch add a leaf. You can get them about anywhere... Most parts stores can get them for the same price as the off road stores too...

Ever consider Air Bags? They ride phonomenal when their aired down and can be easily pumped up for haulin big-time. Might bit pricier though.
