Hey there I don't want this to come off as me hating or talking sh!t about your video at all even though it may come across that way. But I wanted to point out or make some aware of the issue/s about this. First would be stacking blocks like that is very dangerous to do. It's hard to explain on here but if you look up on CZcams what lowering blocks do to your springs there is videos showing what happens to the spring when it's got blocks in it. Idk if u have ever seen lift/lowering blocks that are more then 3 inches but they have a tapper to them so it will correct your pinion angle of the drive shaft witch is also very important! So u don't chew up u joints and get strange vibrations from the drive line. Doing it the way you did is more of a concern if he had to stop fast, or in an accident it can become a major issue of strength and staying together not to mention just axle wrap can make the driver lose control of the vehicle. I don't think he is going to be putting much stuff in the bed so weight won't be a concern really but I would strongly suggest looking into something like four links or going to off road web sites and finding blocks that are one piece and have the angle needed to correct the drive shaft pinnion angle. They make 6 inch blocks for off road trucks witch it's the same block if u want to lower a truck but six inches a a bit much!! Lol but again I'm not trying to talk shit I just wish someone had filled me in on some of this stuff when I was your age I could have avoided a lot of headaches!! But please do look up proper pinion angle and lower/lift blocks and how they affect your springs and truck drivability!! See for yourself on the videos so that way u can learn from them and not have someone like me explaining it poorly on here lol. Your on the right path though!! Get out and get your hands dirty and always be open to learn things everyday!! Besafe y'all!!
I used a 4" angle drop block and removed a spring and it gave me a 5" drop total, still tucked 19x 9.5 rear and 19x 8s front, had to cut fender well and moved it up 3" to clear front tires tho. With air shocks.
Get those leafs de arched there's places that will make them for you. Having your diff so far away from your centerline will eat that pinion bearing quick...and you carrier bearings too.
I used to "rig" my old Toyota like this. All my friends did the same. Most of us are still alive 30 years later. Live and learn.
Does no one care about how their trucks drive anymore instead of doing the cheapest job?

Never do this plain and simple. NEVER stack blocks. Get a real lowering kit.
what wheels?
we cant hear waht your saying.
Buy him a helmet
Man!!! Use at least a 4x4 block of wood. Never a 2x4. Very dangerous. Be Safe!
What wheels are those?
What kind of wheels are those?
The “how to” section is a great addition to your videos, entertaining and informative.
Those trucks look nice.
Got a '91 base Toyota pickup brand new when I was stationed at Alameda Ca for $6995.
That Yota is nice.I think its my fav gen pickup from Toyota. Salute from Screwston TX
