ORD Zero Rate Blocks

Does anyone have experience with the ORD zero rates? I've been meaning to buy a set so i can get an inch more lift in the front end.

Also, does anyone else make these? I like ORD products and have bought from them before, but it's going to cost $50 just to ship the zero rates and a new set of u bolts. I've considered making a set at home on my Bridgeport but i'm not sure it's worth the hassle.

I have a set somewhere, along with their axle offset plates. Same thing, but only 1/4" thick so no (or very little) lift. I think DIY4X has some too.

Thanks, i'll check DIY. I'm only looking for a small amount of lift so i think an inch will be perfect.

Re: ORD Zero Rate Blocks

One of 2 ways you can go. Buy these and bolt them on or get a similar piece with a centering hole and weld them to the housing. 1'' is the max I would consider for a spacer on the front. Personally, I weld them front and back to the spring perch and leave the spring pack alone.

Not a bad idea. 1” is definitely the biggest I would go too. I’m not too hot on adding anything to the front suspension really but at least these bolt to the spring pack and aren’t very tall.
