Looking for thread on making your own lowering blocks

Hi, I remember reading a thread about making your own lowering blocks. Thought I saved it, but guess not. It talked about getting parts from local Rv shop, etc. I have done search on lowering blocks, but I just can't find it. Anyone remember it?
Thanks,
Jonna

You might try looking over at the HAMB board too.

Re: Looking for thread on making your own lowering blocks

heavy wall square tube and longer u-bolts...
what else do you need to know?
i'd weld them to the spring pads on your axle
drill a hole to match the hole in your spring pad to locate over the spring bolt

one guy on here use wood blocks
he got laughed at, a lot
