Lowering Blocks ?
Does anyone make lowering blocks for the 67-72 trucks. I have seen someone on the board make some before, just wanted to know my lowering options with some rear blocks involved. Thanks.

cpp, brothers both make specific kits

Re: Lowering Blocks ?
I've bought the solid aluminum ones from CPP & used them for 5+ years. I swapped them recently for some driveway made 2" sq tubing blocks.

Re: Lowering Blocks ?
I just bought some DJM ones and am gonna have my u-bolts made at a shop here in town. They were like $15 w/shipping.

What was the reasoning for changing them? Just a different height? |

Re: Lowering Blocks ?
you have a pic of them scoti??
im also wondering whats holding them between teh trailing arm and trhe rearend beside the ubolts?? are the ubolts all that is needed |
Re: Lowering Blocks ?
Yep, just the U-bolts. I ended up making mine out of the same .250" square steel tubing that Scoti did.

Re: Lowering Blocks ?
ok.. and i assume nobody has had a problem with the block falling out
|
Re: Lowering Blocks ?
The u-bolt goes through the block... If that were to happen, I'd really have to question my ability to turn wrenches....
|
Re: Lowering Blocks ?
ok i see what your saying... i thought you were just putting the block between the ubolts..
i got it, thank you |

Here are the ones I made. I was using .250 stainless but opted for mild steel to make fabrication easier @ home (gotta' weld the stainless @ work). The second pic is a close-up of the 'crush sleeve' just to make sure nothing collapses.....

Here's the final modified version. Sorry but it's kind of dark under the truck & there's not much light out by the time I get home . . ....

I know this is an old thread but I was looking at lowering blocks and liked the way Scoti cut the blocks at an angle to make a longer more stable base.
Lightened up the photo a bit, and reposting it for others to see more clearly. |
