Charles, Sorry for the delay (digest mode).
I don't think they have adjusted the 2" square steel tubing for pinion
angle. I think it IS required for 2 inches or more, yet I had no
vibration
at all with these blocks. The custom solid steel blocks are 1 1/2 inches
and to my knowledge does not require a pinion angle adjustmet. I will
say
when I removed the So Low Susp. blocks (I didn't do the install) I
noticed
the centering pin was about a 1/4 inch to long. Any install with these
blocks
may need to trim the centering pin for a snug fit. I like Lance Martz
idea of
bolting the solid steel ones to the leaf springs.
