blocks are BAD !!!! very BAD , they are ment for street trucks , not wheelers , I tried to go the cheap way a long time ago and put blocks under my first XJ , blocks broke ...... axle twisted ...... blew drive shaft. :mad: :mad: cost more to fix then lift springs would have cost .
Shawn Carder broke his blocks on the last trip to Livingston ..... same outcome. If you run them on the front and they break you loose steering ... this could be a bad thing... If you are on a budget and want to lift your sammy then go SOA and then add some budget boost helper springs if the SOA isn't high enough.

Ditto with Sarge. I blew a set of block and took out my drive shaft as well.
