Re: Drop blocks?
I make my own out of 2 inch square tubing. I did an FAQ article on the whole process if you care to search for it.

Re: Drop blocks?
Looks like the block was 7" long. Does anyone know the "center to center" length of the u-bolt holes? Also what size holes to drill? (I think I drilled mine 7/8",... but I cant remember.

Re: Drop blocks?
I dont know the measurements or the size to drill the holes. but if you have the original shock mounts you could get the measurement off those.

Re: Drop blocks?
let me know if you dont have any shock mounts available to measure. PM me and i can go look through the parts in the garage(have some somewhere) and get you some measurements.
