Re: Wtb drop blocks

I have a pair of 3" for leaf springs - will they work for you?
These are old but the are made from steel not Alum so they are going to be extra tough

Re: Wtb drop blocks

The ubolts that we have are the wrong qty and dia for coil spring trucks.
The coil spring takes a beefier ubolt.
If you need to I have a place in town that bends Ubolts for me, they have excellent quality at good prices, includes the HD extra long nuts.
If you give me the Dia of bolt and the overall length I can have a set bent and send them to you for cost.

Re: Wtb drop blocks

when you buy u bolts be carefull, the ones that came from classic performance were junk. they were grade 2 steel. i bought new ones locally grade 8 for $40. just to let you know. mike

Re: Wtb drop blocks

Leaf spring blocks wont work. The Coil spring blocks have the holes drilled in them for the "U" bolts and the leaf spring ones do not. Also you want to watch how tall a block you purchace. If you blow a tire with lowering blocks mutch more than 2" the "U" bolts will hit the ground causing lots of carnage. WES
