4 inch pic's of installed lowering blocks please

[bbobb]

I am totolly clueless as to what i am doing with this one. I bought a set of 4 inch lowering blocks from a friend and ofcoarse there are no directions. If anyone has a few angled pic's of some installed would you please share them with me. I also picked up a set of Belltech 3 inch drop sprindles for the front. Will i need any thing else for the front or rear other than and spindles the drop blocks??? Thans for any and all help

What year truck are you working on?

'Drop blocks' for 6x-72 truck arm set-ups shouldn't exceed certain limits due to scrub-line issues (they become unsafe in the event of a tire failure). 15" wheels should be 1.5" max; 17" wheels 2" max; up to 20" wheels could do 3" blocks.

6x-87 C10 leaf spring applications wouldn't be able to use a drop-block until the rear end is first flipped. Once that's done, the axle flip w/the drop block will start getting into the same scrub line safety issue as the truck arm set-ups & should be limited to about 2".

5" dropped coil springs would work.

3 or 4" springs w/a lowering block would be better because a lowering block would not impact the shock travel vs all the drop from just the spring (the shorter the spring, the less shock travel there is w/stock mounts).

I want your truck. It's exactly what I'm looking for to use for my next faux speed shop lettered and pinstriped cruiser. Looks good.
