I debated adding rear air bags, but I was quoted >$600 to get them installed. The parts cost was less than half that, but since I&#8217;m living out of the camper for the next few months, I&#8217;m stuck without a good place to work on the truck. A lift block looked like a much easier installation and I was reasonably sure I could do it myself at a campsite. Toytec offers a 1.5&#8243; block, so I grabbed a pair along with a set of 9&#8243; u-bolts.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_325\" style=\"width: 270px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carbio.org\/carlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170622_134302.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-325\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carbio.org\/carlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170622_134302-270x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carbio.org\/carlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170622_134302-270x300.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.carbio.org\/carlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170622_134302-768x852.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carbio.org\/carlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170622_134302-923x1024.jpg 923w, https:\/\/www.carbio.org\/carlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170622_134302-800x887.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carbio.org\/carlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170622_134302.jpg 1539w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-325\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lift block<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The installation itself was about as easy as it could be.
