>>>What are the disadvantages of blocks?? I want to drop my
dak about 2" or 3" in the rear only, just to level it out. I was planning to
use blocks, should I be using shackles/hangers, or should I use the new
de-arched springs?? <<<
>>>>Blocks suck because theyt break, and if you have a 2" or bigger and one
breaks and falls off your axle, you are f-u-k-d screwed =). I would go with
a shackle my self, or a de-arched leaf... the only problem with a de-arched
is that you can't haul as much (from what I've heard). Blocks are good and
cost effective, but they run a big risk.... my kit came with a 1" block, but
I'm not using it becuase of the whole fallin' apart thing.... also... you
would only need a 2" drop to level it out, so a shackle will work nicely =)
just my $0.02<<<<<<
