off the whole argument about the blocks, why did you decide to locate the rear shocks at such a sharp angle? i wouldnt think they would do much good on the road.

A few questions....Is that a slight gap between the Aluminum block and leaf spring?
Why do the U-bolts have flat bottoms? They appear to have minimal contact on the axel instead of cradling it? They also look crooked.
Does the axel vent stretch enough to stay attached?
Will the soft brake line handle any axel droop?
Do the exhaust fumes enter the Passenger cabin?
Those are the stock u-bolts upside down, my flip kit hadn't come in yet and i need to roll the truck around, it was never driven like that.
There is no axel vent line in those pics, just a harness in the background
That soft line handles full droop
The fumes dont come in the truck, but after a while the floor gets rather toasty, I need to weld a turn down on at some point.

Dont get me wrong, im not promoting blocks. They can be sketchy, but i sure as hell wont be shooting blocks out or breaking springs because of them.Originally Posted by JakeWI
not to be a dick, but im going to have to somewhat side with nw-xj-scott on this one. anything over an inch block period is asking for trouble and is just not the preferred way of doing it since like 1992. or i guess another scenario would be a pure mud bogger thats just going to be beat to ****. i dont care myself because its not my rig. I would just not do it myself to any of my rigs. to each is his own i guess.

I played with it a few ways and thats where i got the most travel. I'm sure it doesnt help my body roll any but i dont mind. I didnt build it to be a great road truck, i have 3 bmw's that i drive when its nice out, its a bad weather and trail rig for the most part.Originally Posted by JakeWI
