AZ Lowering blocks and new U-bolts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was going to go with 6" drop springs and 1/2" lowering blocks but decided not to use the 1/2" lowering blocks. Blocks are aluminum and U-bolts have been painted steel gray to prevent them from rusting. $50 shipped

How long are those Ubolts pass through on the bottom of trailing arm,
otherwords, how much sticks below the trailing arm with the block in place.
I hope I ask that correctly.

The U-bolts are 8.5" from where they would contact the axle tube to the end of the threaded portion
