I was told that having spacer blocks under the front leaf springs, is a bad idea. There is a superduty 4x4 on ebay (item #110323806126) that has spacers in the front. 2 inch, I think. Are blocks, in the front, that size okay? Or should you avoid front blocks all together.

 

Avoid it like the plague. I checked out that truck on eBay, some people should be banned from tools...

 

I noticed in one of the photos, that one of the blocks is already sitting sideways on the axle. D-side photo I think. Yikes!

 

Blocks under front leafs can be very dangerous. They can shift and move or worse plain fall out. Nothing could be worse then a loss steering while driving.

 

HOLY bad idea batman..

ur truck exerts WAYYYY more force on teh front axle when braking then the rear.. i wouldnt trust blocks in the front even if they were welded in...

 

Dangerous and super stupid! Bad enough that they're illegal in VA.

 

All it takes is to shear the center pin on the block and you lose your front end/steering. Very BAD. I believe it's illegal in most sates if not all.

 

run, run away!!

 

Add to that there is no trailer hitch, only a 4 pin connector hanging from under the bumper. This is suspicious since there are 2 holes drilled in the dash under the pooka, which looks a lot like a brake controller used to be mounted there.

Not to mention that the driver's door marker light (rear bottom of door) is missing it's cover and maybe it's bulb (why would that have been broken/removed?).

I wouldn't give it any more time and move on...

 

maybe I could offer them a grand for it, and use it for parts.

 

That truck is from Michigan. The law here states NO blocks in front axle at all, and no more than 4" block in rear.

It's the guys like whoever built this truck that caused all the lift laws.

Toyman

 

Even if that thing didnt have blocks in the front, i wouldnt even give that truck a second look, something is just not right about it.

 

or you could just remove the blocks???

 

is it just more is it odd that its supposed to be an xlt and it has a black grill and it has a tape player....just some oddities....and its has tons of rust on the chassis kinda scary..id ask them to get the vehicle inspected and see if it passes inspection lol plus no offense to anyone who lives in the north salt kills....also ask if this truck has a clear title bc its just so odd how some of these pieces fit...

 

My XLT came with a tape player... and I'm in Northern Indiana, before I sprayed my frame it was looking pretty rusty...
