I like the design of the block.. but some of the things they say.. just seem stupid.
I've never seen an aftermarket lift that actually gives you two blocks and tells you "Here you go, just stack them!" And 99% of the trucks I have seen do not have stacked blocks. Yet they claim 60% of lifted trucks have them? I wonder how they came up with that number.
They are also kind of discouraging you to do spring lifts or add-a-leafs..
I think the idea behind 6" or 8" spring lifts is to space the tire farther away from the fender. You know, making it a little hard to rub!
Okay, but if you had leafs stacked to the height of one of those blocks, i'm sure you wouldn't be rubbing your fenders.
I think the block looks decent, but they should probably advertise it without bashing every other kind of lift.
Reality is aftermarket lift companies have been using stacked blocks for 20 years. 60% of lifted trucks driving around every day have stacked blocks in the rear.
They are also kind of discouraging you to do spring lifts or add-a-leafs..
Reality is a 6” or 8” “All Spring” lifts eliminates the rear bump-stop and the overload system. With no overload and no bump-stop what stops the tire from hitting the fender at bottom out?
Reality is a 2” Add-A-Leaf rides really harsh. They move your axle 2” from the rear bump stop and the overload system. They increase your ride height but not your bottom out protection. So the bigger tire you installed could go up and hit your fender.
I think the block looks decent, but they should probably advertise it without bashing every other kind of lift.
