Not trying to bash their product,but these don't look very ground clearance friendly,if you know what I'm saying.

Looks like a sorry excuse for a selling point for lift blocks.

Their descriptions make me wanna trade my 3" full packs for a set of their 10" blocks and traction bars! I mean, you can also use them to slide up and over those really tall mall curbs and stuff!

I really don't get the selling point of those? All the downsides of full leaf packs they said, could be fixed with other aftermarket parts. And I'm pretty sure the big three truck companies did not use 4"+ lift blocks.

I can them eliminating the main reason that lift blocks suck for a lift and that is axle wrap. But I would also think that they would have a negative effect on offroad flex. Looks like the siffening effect they provide for the axle would reduce upward and downward suspension travel.

They used them for years when they were starting to use the same chassis for 2WD and 4WD. They just added a tcase and front end and lifted the rear with a 4" block. Ford and Dodge did this and early Chevy also. Didn't use those funky bars though.
