Default Lift block's 1 in

Okay so i've heard some pretty bad stuff about lift blocks. And I'm planning on buying 1in ones to level out my jeep (Rear end sag's 1/2 in lower than front) I'm not going to go offroading. Just some mud puddles here and there. But im planning on buying them from a member on here. Forgot his name already. But He says their made of steel. Should i buy them ($27) And put them in? Just want to make it clear. This is going to be mostly pavement miles on these. with some mild mild mild mudding. Untill i can afford a full lift,

You may need longer u bolts. Im not gonna recommend blocks for an xj but it'll get the job done. If that sale.falls through I have 1.5 blocks for 20 shipped.

If they are solid I'd run them and have, the hollow ones will break and spit out parts and that's where problems begin.

if all your looking to do is level out the jeep an adj. shackle will do the same thing. Over time the blocks will make ur leafs sag even more because of the added stress in the middle of the leafs. but 20$ shipped is worth it if you plan on lifting it in the future anyways.
