no blocks for me =) I had a 1" block, but chucked it cuz' it was draggi'n the bumper and tailpipe all over the place. hhhmmm... with a 4" drop, how much pinion correction do you think I need? 4 degrees? how do I know if it's too much?

thanks again man!

I think they were like $20 a set. I have a set of 2's and a set of 4's. I
change my suspension around alot depending on my mood or the task at hand,
so I just keep them and a few different size blocks handy. Just make sure
that you tighten the shit out of the u bolts or else you will crack blocks
and then you get to chase you're axle down the road. I set mine to 240 ft
