Definite scrub line issues unless running big diameter wheels. A 1.5" block on 15's is the safe limit. They're close, but as long as you don't sling the rubber off the rim & the u-bolts don't extend beyond nuts, you'll be ok.

That being said, I've seen more than one guy use 3" blocks w/o problems. It just seems to be an un-worthy risk.

Boris, what are you getting for the blocks?

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.

Retail on them is $24pr for the 1" $32pr 1.5"
2" are $38pr. I will probably run a April special for U bolts, blocks, and hardware.

Re: 1960-1972 Lowering Block U bolts

I am looking to lowering my 72' C10 with 2" lowering blocks; Lowering block u-bolts, adjustable panhard bar and a pair of shock relocators.

I already have 3 inch lowered springs. I don't want to c-notch.

Please let me know when you are offering the packaged deal.

Thanks,

Frank
