1 in or 2 in? 1in stouter...2 in fail.


give them to me....i will make sure they wont fail on the road.

2 inch blocks... they didn't fail... they worked great at a low cost. i can't complain about them.

they are WAY too cheap to spend over 30 minutes making on your own

depends on specific situation. i know it would take me more then 30 minutes to make my own...unless it was solid stock. and that would take one hell of an expensive saw.

be running a produced block for sure unless the situation benefited from custom.

and if you order good blocks, you get tapered blocks... not sure if its needed for 2 inch, but its nice when its a 4 inch block lol

I made short ones from channel and plate the right width worked good.Wound up using Ranger ones later though.

or if you bought a lift kit and you were 14 and could only afford the rough country lift kit, and that's what came in it

See, I'm glad you see where I'm coming from Richard, rather than take offense!
For myself, I jerry-rig a lot of stuff together and make it work. But when it comes to the safety and stability of my running gear, I don't want something falling off doing 100 down the highway. Just my $.02

Your BII does 100? Whatever you've got under the hood, I'll take two.

So it all boils down to my first post. Don't make your own. Buy a new set, they are cheep. Or do what I did and make different shackles and eliminate the blocks (best thing I've ever done, no more axle wrap).

Haha! I'm Canadian. 100 KM/H.

Although I've had it up to 80 MP/H. A tad scary though... lol

Yes, there are some who should never attempt to modify their trucks [other than cosmetic...and maybe not even then];

I've definitely changed my opinion on vehicle inspections since I've read this thread, it's too bad that most have children before getting snuffed.
