You never have given anything except others opinions. You have never shown the slightest hint of actual experience.

Why should I even bother to answer you?

I learned a long time ago that people rarely change their minds. Once a idea is formed in the individuals mind he or she will die defending that idea regardless of evidences shown. Again not always, but the large majority. Few people possess true open minded reasoning.

So in conclusion I guess we have accepted the fact that neither side is going to budge from their pre concieved ideas.
However I could always be mistaken.

If you do use blocks make sure you don't use the rough country blocks they are horrible. Now what you want is anything besides rough country. They just make a horrible block of metal. Total no go. As long as you spend a bunch of money you'll be golden!

NO actually if my blocks caused a failure tomorrow I would post it up. I am not winning any awards here. The more information presented the better off we are.

more excuses huh? and others opinions? im going off of what I know, which is physics. you clearly are going off of delusion lol. And experience? that makes me laugh since I've shown numerous examples of everyday things that we do that show exactly the stuff we are talking about: physics and how the higher the leverage point the easier and more acceptable axle wrap is. i think you can't and wont answer mine because I got thorough with my answers that show the lack of knowledge that you have.


you want to prove everyone wrong and show that your right.

then explain not only to me but to everyone here on this forum and anyone who will read this thread, how your short experience IS true and that hundreds of years of physics is wrong.

its as simple as that, prove me wrong and I'll gladly support you. hell I'll put block on my jeep afterwards

I never was against any physics or 100 years of it. I do think your abuse of physics is cruel. Especially for a straw man argument.

So what do you wheel there demonoid369?

Any off roading pictures?

stop trying change subject and to get a ruse out of me, what I wheel and my pics are irrelevant to the question on hand. are your answers above proven facts of physics?
you said yourself that 1.5" wont do anything "I agree the taller the block the more axle wrap you can have. But honestly 1.5" is not enough to do anything negative." post #77 but law of physics shows farther the distance of a pivoting point(even in small amounts), the lesser the effort to turn it and greater the force is applied to it. just like a breaker bar and prybars,
