Lift Blocks

No. That doesn't help at all. I am well aware of why you shouldn't use front lift blocks. That does not provide a picture of a failed unit. If I wanted to, I could take plenty of pictures of non failed front lift blocks. . . . . . . .

not really since its not a thread u started...the question was asked "why NOT to use lift blocks up front"...and u keep sayin the info people post isnt helpin YOU...start a thread, ask your question, and get what you are askin for instaed of complaining that you're not gettin what u asked for on sumone elses thread...seems eveything thing thats been posted has been informative as why not to use lift blocks up front...as stated several posts back, i doubt sumone would post such a pic because they know how unsafe it would b to use blocks up front on anything other than a mall crawler...hope this helps...

No. It does not help at all. I understand why you should not use a lift block on the front. I am not sure how much more clear I can make that.

Someone asked why he shouldn't use a lift block. A picture is worth a thousand words, or so the saying goes. I asked for a picture, something that would reinforce the answers others are giving. Apparently no one has pics of this, just hand me down stories of why it shouldn't be done. . . .

I know its a stupid question and i tried searching but why is it bad to use lift blocks in the front? is it because the steering acts as leverage to "twist" them out or what?

Thanks for answering my dumb question

Tom.

P.S. i was arguring with my friend in why not to put them in but had no good reason why not to, just dont do it:doah:

I am pretty confident a picture of a failed lift block would be helpful in answering this question. . . .

If your friend is too stubborn to listen to good advice from a large number of sources already provided, then maybe he's the kind of person who SHOULD run front lift blocks.

This might be one of those cases where Darwinism should be allowed to run it's course.



:thinking:




:usaflag:
 
helpful to whom??? u didnt ask the question...all u keepin sayin is the info posted doesnt help you because u want to see a picture...well it would seem to me if you're so hell bent on seeing a pic to show your friend, who im guessing cant read since you want to show him a pic instead of hundreds of words sayin why NOT to use blocks in the front, then YOU should search the endless web to find it for him...you're takin up space on this thread with stupidity...go look for a picture yourself since no one on here can seem to help you...

Which one should I sell? What stupid questions? Also, could you please explain how I am wasting anyone's time?

I know all you wiz bangs are way smarter than martin and I but he asked a simple question. In fact he has a k30 crew/sub/blazer and enough parts to build a k20 or 3. None of mine have front blocks and neither do his. All he wanted was a pic of a front lift block failure, not a unicorn or the lost city of gold. Once a 1000 years ago I was told not to put a battery on the concrete in the winter cause it would wreck it, that was B.S. and so without a pic this may be too.
 
Thank you, although that would be closer to a zero rate, than a lift block.

Upon closer review, actually I think that is a lift block, and the overload is just sitting on top of the axle because it is no longer attached to the spring pack due to the failed center pin.

Martin
 
but thats not correct martin...zero rate is 1/2 that size in thickness and length...plus thats failure of the spring pack center pin NOT the lift lock...
