Drop blocks beyond 1" in height can put the rear axle scrub-line below the wheel lip if using 15" wheels. In the event of a serious tire failure, the U-bolt ends can make contact w/the road surface. Like dropping an anchor, it's not a big deal if moving unless it catches something or digs in. Wheels w/a larger diameter change the scrub-line dimension offering more wiggle room for a taller block w/o the possible contact concern.

This is just something to be fully aware of when it comes to different lowering methods.
Thank you, So a larger wheel may help as I go lower.
