I've always worried about using blocks. It would seem to me that those
blocks with a v6/8 would create a nice lever arm with which to twist the
heck out of those leaf springs. I too have wondered if anybody else had
problems with blocks. Having said that, I have a 4cyl and I use 2" blocks,
so I'm not applying very much (if any =]) torque to those springs and I
haven't had a problem.
