Re: Lowering blocks and traction?
There are really only a couple ways to lower Instant Center of Gravity on a trailing arm truck.
1) Lower the whole truck.
2) Make a new adjustable lower control are bracket. Move the mounting point of the LCA down.
I guess there is a third, put a ladder bar or 4-link in it. But in most ways, the stock LCA works like a ladder bar.
The block is a bigger problem with a leaf sprung vehicle as the block between the rear and leaf spring gives the axle more leverage to wrap up a leaf spring. The is not near the issue with a trucks LCA, and when you modify them a bit to stiffen them up even more than they are stock, it is even less of an issue.
I ran blocks till I went to a 4-link. I think DJ and Paul run blocks.
