Re: 4x4 Suspension Questions

Short blocks (no more than 4") are ok in the back, but never use them in the front. It is not safe. There is a lot more side force against the front end, plus the fore and aft steering pressure on the axle. Plus, most blocks are tapered, this will screw up your caster and cause your truck to wander. Then you would be back here posting "help, my truck is all over the road"......we just saved you the trouble.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
