Raising a 5er

[routemaster]

Guys.
I have a new Chevy and the bed is deeper than my old LLY so I am having to lift the hitch, lots of adjustment holes for that.
If I do that the rear end of the 5er would be too low I was looking to put lifting blocks on the axle perch and sit the spring on them. Could I use 3íns lift blocks with safety?

If your 5er axles are on top of the springs then just "flip" them to the bottom.mine came that way so when we went from an 03 to a 12 just put hitch in top holes.

The most I would do with blocks is 1", time to build a sub-frame, 3" steel tube.

I agree
