Lowering Block Question?

I got a good deal on a pair of 4" drop coils for the rear, but I want to go to a 5" drop in the rear. I am going to also install a 1" lowering block in the rear. I found this site and was wondering if yall could take a look at it and let me know what yall think.

Re: Lowering Block Question?

This is what the add says: Decreases suspension height on most leaf spring applications. Kits include aluminum blocks that can be installed on top of the leaf spring to lower the vehicle.(2-1" Blocks, 4 U-Bolts, Nuts & Washers). Round U-Bolts: 10.75" Long, 3.25" Wide ON CENTER, 1/2" Threads.

Re: Lowering Block Question?

they wont work because you have a coilspring rear end. unless i am mistaken and you actually have a leaf spring rear end

Re: Lowering Block Question?
