Well short story, my friend ran the two stacked tow inch lift blocks in the front. I walked away and wouldnt help, but long story short, they twisted out when he was plowing a parking lot, sorry no pics, i was too busy saying haha told you so. We just put in new 4" leaf springs and he is bitching about spending all kinds of money with the lift blocks and 3 sets of u bolts , should have just listened to me the first time.

Thanks for the responses, guess i could have just waited to see what bad stuff happens when you run lift blocks in the front

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...

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.

Do you suffer from a reading deficiency???

So he ran two, 2" lift blocks stacked on top of each other for a combined 4"? Simply amazing. I would never recommend it, but he might have gotten away with a single 2" lift block. I have seen it done many times before. Two stacked on top of each other is begging and pleading for trouble though.

It is too bad that you didn't get some pictures.

Hahahaha. As someone who actually knows Martin, it will always be easier to answer his question than argue with him while having no concrete evidence.
