drop blocks
Anyone here use drop blocks with the stock springs? I am on a budget and was looking at how Tx Firefighter made his in the FAQ section.
I want to be able to drop the back down about 2-3 inches and this looks like a perfect solution. I was worried that if I keep the stock springs, I will get a rough ride or the springs will compress and bind too much. Any problems running these? Thanks Mike

It's a catastrophic success.

Re: drop blocks
It will ride the same as it does now, blocks only raise the axle there by lowering the truck. The spring travel is the same. If you go with to big a block you run the risk of dragging the end of the bolts.

Re: drop blocks
ok thanks, that answers my questions about the springs. I have a large tire on the back and I understand that you dont want the bottom of the u-bolt to go past the bottom of the rim. I think I am correct on this and it doesnt matter what tire size you run.
Mine on the back are 30x11.5x15 and would like to run similar in the future. I may just save for a 3' drop spring combined with a 2" block.
