I use lowering blocks to keep the ride height low, with the correct amount of air in the bags.

Re: drop blocks

The blocks also help w/shock travel on trucks using OE placed mounts.

Since the block raises the rear end from its position above the T/A but doesn't alter the location of the shock mounts, you get some additional drop w/o impacting the shocks available travel.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: drop blocks
