Doug,

If you can't come up with any you might try these folks. They are in Olathe, KS

They should have what you want. (just type "blocks" into the search box and scroll down)

I just cut a couple of pieces of 2"x2"-1/4" wall tubing for mine, then had the spring company bend up new "U" bolts 2" longer... Worked great.

pm me if you still have the blocks only.

70GMCer,

I saw those blocks. Looks like he just made them out of .50" rect stock. That may be an option!!

Made mine out of some 2x6 tubing and work great.
These boys have the u bolts http://www.stengelbros.com/U-boltKits.htm

heres the pics, they are 3" though. they could extremely easily be cut down. i managed to find one of the u-bolts, but after finding it i didnt bother finding the other... those suckers are thin! i ran these blocks in the rear of my k20 as lift blocks, but they were listed as lift/lowering blocks. they are the tapered kind to fix your pinion angle

hummmm, I would have to drill two 1" holes through them right away, unless they fit between the 4.5" center to center u-bolt. I'd really like to stay with 2" drop, but thanks for thinking about me!!
