> I lowered my Toyota many moons ago and in fact out more miles on it
> lowered than at stock height. 91,000 when I lowered it, and 205,000 when
> I sold it. I used blocks from a company called So Low Suspensions out of
> Troutdale Oregon. They specialize in old Chebbies, but they also make
> stuff for just about anything you want, and they know what they are
> doing. For lowering blocks, they use rectangular STEEL tubing. Not the
> normal thin walled stuff, but thick heavy gauge material. I used both
> their 2 and 3 inch varieties and was very happy with them. The alignment
> pin is a very heavy item that is welded into the block and though I
> tried, I was never able to re tighten the u-bolts after driving for a
> couple of weeks. This means they did not stretch as is common with cheap
> block kits.
> I would not drive a vehicle who's blocks were cracked. That block is
> what is holding the axle in place on the spring, and if it moves even a
> little, you could be headed for a major wreck when that axle comes loose
> and swings out of position. I would remove the blocks, send them back to
> Summit with a request for refund and hope for the best. If they do not
> refund your money, then at least you are not out much. Then I would call
> So Low and get the good stuff. Your truck will be safer.

> I really like these folks, because they went way out of their way to
> build a set of lowered control arms for my 83 Toyota when everyone else
> told me to buy a newer truck. The cut off for custom parts for Toyota
