These?
That type breaks. You need solid blocks. Again, try the spring hanger flip first.

| Post subject: | Speedway motors lowering blocks? |
been a while since i have been on here but i am back with the valiant. she is running fairly well now and thanks to everyone for all the help before. since this is not my daily or even weekend driver i am wanting it to be a nasty little lead sled. meaning, dropped low and not look all that great as far as cosmetics go. i don't really want anyone to like it other than me. yesterday i dropped the front end by adjusting on the torsion bars and i was going to do a shackle flip in the rear but can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. if i flipped the shackles they would be inside the trunk. so i was thinking that i would get some lowering blocks and u bolts from speedway but was wondering if anyone has used them before and with what kind of results. i realize they are just chunks of aluminum but still would like some feed back. or if someone can shed light on the shackle flipping. either way, thanks in advance. james. |

You don't flip the rear shackles, you flip the front spring hanger. Most inexpensive lowering blocks are die-cast, weak, and only 2 1/4" wide. When I lowered the rear of my Dakota I bought cast iron "lift" blocks from Summit Racing. They were 2 1/2" wide like our leaf springs and did not crack. Flip the front spring hangar or buy adjustable ones from Firm Feel. If that isn't low enough get some 2 1/2" wide billet aluminum lowering blocks. |
