This Sucks!
I was out at our farm just driving around in a field, at our farm yesterday and broke the yoke on my rear drive shaft. not that big of a deal right? so i got out and took off the driveshaft, put it into 4wd, and continued on, or tried to anyway. those stupid automatic hubs wouldnt lock in. thankfully, we were only about 300 yards from the barn, so i went and got our JD 4020 to come pull it in. my girlfriend steered, while i pulled with the tractor. we made it fine for about 200 yards and where just about to come down a small hill onto gravel, when my lift blocks fell out of the rear end and my bronco came crashing down onto my new tires. a neighbor and i put my drop hitch in upside-down and lifted the backend up with the bucket on our tractor and slowly rolled it don the hill. then we put 2x4s in just to hold it up. we trailered it home today. i looked at my blocks and the front-top corner of both of them is broken off. have any of youguys ever seen this happen before. I plan on making new ones out of steel that will have holes for the u-bolts to go through.

stop, just buy dual aal's for the back. blocks create excessive axle wrap thats why your yoke broke. your talking $80-100 for the AAL's and its honestly worth it over blocks. imagine if you were doing some actual offroading and that rear end spit out on you, it could be deadly ya know. the time and work you put in for the custom blocks isnt worth it in my opinnion. check out 4wheelcustoms . com talk to chris

i just made the blocks. i see what you're saying though, ill have to look into aal's i want to put some in, but for now, at least my truck is driveable. its my daily driver, so i needed it fixed quick. not to say its done porly, i just needed to get it up and running asap.
quick question: could i get aals a and spacers for the front springs to make my 6" lift into an 8" lift?
