can you use these if you already have blocks in the rear?

 

[sweetk30]

that falls under the no stacking of blocks rule. not good idea.

It is called a zero rate for this reason. Since the zero rate is bolted to the spring pack with the centering pin it is technically considered a spring and can legally be used in a front axle. But since it has no spring rate to the springpack it's called a "zero rate spring".
