My opinion of blocks....they are either the standard from factory, which is there for proper angles etc, the lowered crowd, or you are a complete retard in a four wheel drive. But that is just my experiences with them lol I have used them, and I hated them, I bought new springs for the truck I had them in, it was much better

ya I'm about to put 6 inch blocks and a 3 inch add a leaf on the back of my bronco.. kinda sketchy I guess but she's just a bogger and I haven't had problems with the four inch blocks I have in it now.. and only 750 for a nine inch suspension lift don't hurt either lol

I'm going with retard four wheel drive owner! lol I still don't like them, but keep an eye on them, if your lift is only 950 bucks, and you make ok money, you should have that in no time. I'd wait, but I don't live by you, so I won't get killed by it lol

I am glad you chose this route lol Getting it rerouted probably isn't terribly expensive, I had a full exhaust cat back custom built for 120 bucks

Oh, well in that case, hell have at it! I just hate them on street rigs mostly. It's funny watching a dude lose a block in the mud pits lol
