Front block='s blockhead

Off thread subject, but those front blocks (pic 1) can cause pic 2&3.

The lateral forces your front end takes in corners is unbeliviable and those u-bolts are working hard even with the spring pack right on top the axle.

Putting a block in the front only multiplies those forces greatly, and can cause a catostrofic failure of them, meaning your friggin front axle could fall off.

And probably in a turn so you will be lucky if you do not roll your truck, kill yourself and anyone riding with you. Let alone anyone else around the accident.

I know it takes money and time for a lift, at least remove them till you can afford a proper lift kit.

The 2nd and 3rd pic are not from front block useage, but I wanted to scare you into taking them out. Drive safe and smart Ford brother!
