1988–1998 Chevy / GMC C1500 K1500 Rear Lift Blocks | 4", 5", 6", 7", 8" Compound Taper Anti-Wrap
The OBS C/K body is one of the most lifted truck platforms ever built — and it deserves blocks built to match. The Apoc Industries Compound Taper Anti-Wrap Lift Blocks are engineered specifically for 1988–1998 C1500/K1500 fitment. The top taper matches the factory leaf spring angle. The bottom taper corrects pinion angle at lift height. Both work together to eliminate the geometry problems that come with a straight block — axle push-back, driveline vibration, and premature wear.
Fits 1988–1998 Chevrolet C1500 / K1500 and GMC C1500 / K1500 (2WD and 4WD with rear leaf springs). Available in 4", 5", 6", 7", and 8" lift heights. Sold as a pair. Built in the USA.
Features
- Compound Taper Design: Top taper matches factory spring angle. Bottom taper corrects pinion angle at lift height. Keeps axle centered and driveline geometry correct through the full lift range.
- Anti-Wrap Construction: Reinforced design with robotic welds reduces axle wrap, spring twist, and wheel hop under hard acceleration and towing.
- Heavy-Wall Steel: Precision-cut heavy-wall steel with zero flex under load.
- Center Pin Locator Holes: Ensures precise axle positioning during install.
- True-to-Size Lift Heights: Listed height equals actual lift achieved.
- Satin Black Powder Coat: Durable corrosion-resistant finish.
- USA-Made: Built by Apoc Industries.
