use the widest block possible
can only help support the body better
dont use a blocks thinner than the orig mounts
it will cause fractures and cracks around the mounts
also ull have to use 10mm bolts coz 12 mm dont fit

Use 75mm for all the mounts that it will fit.
I think the front 2 you will have to use 50mm.
Well I had to on my 97 extra cab.
Wider is allways better if itll fit.

is any point in using blocks that are wider than the standard mounting blocks when the chassis and body mounts are a certain width anyway?

just spreads the load more
less strees on body mount
which means less cracks

If you want this to pass with the DOT don't use nylon blocks.
