These blocks can be made in any configuration, are welded inside & out and use grade 8 bolts for the pins. I also have 3 different u-bolt options ranging from the standard 1/2" China specials commonly found in aftermarket block kits with nyloc nuts and grade 8 flat washers ( I never use lock washers on u-bolts!) , upgraded 1/2" grade 5 with grade 8 hardware, and finally the monster 9/16" grade 8 w/grade 8 hardware which are great for the turbo trucks laying down serious power. I sell alot of these on CT and know a ton of you guys could benefit from getting those awful aluminum blocks out of there before they break due to the fact they are hollow and don't fit our little perches correctly. Open this CT link and scroll down to post # 31 to see what I mean. I can also get poly suspension components and KYB shocks at good prices too. PM for prices. Thanks.

I have these blocks and have to vouch for Brian that these are good quality blocks. his prices are also great on all these products. he keeps in mind our "low budget" hobby here and makes bringing these trucks down affordable.

 

Thanks Alex, that was a nice plug and I appreciate that. I'm off to make 2 pair this morning. Some 3"ers w/upgraded u-bolts and a 4" pair for a 3/4 kit w/upgraded u-bolts for a Taco. btw, my95trokita PMed me on CT asking if I had a 3rd, I told him to PM you, and I'm ready to cut & grind on your truck some more....

 

do your blocks fit exactly over the u bolt postioner/centering pin and exactly into the axle center hole? You have a pm aswell .

 

Do you mean are the pin & hole in the center of the blocks? (you can run into problems when using blocks that have offset pins/holes)

If you have special request I can do it. Here are some specs on my blocks...

Top and bottom flat piece: 6.5" (L) X 2.5" (W)

Hole: 19/32 (slightly bigger than 9/16" & guaranteed to be slightly larger than your leaf center pins/bolts, you won't run into problems)

pin: 1/2" grade 8 bolt cut to the correct height (they won't be so long that they contact the axle tube leaving a tiny gap between the block & axle pad...these won't contact the axle tube like some aftermarket blocks do.

 

just for refference, mine fit in there like a glove on the center pin holes.... just enough to scuff some paint off.

the standard universals i used to run didnt fit this nice.

 

Thanks Alex. I started making the hole just a hair larger recently, because I've had a couple that were just a little too tight on the leaf pin/bolt and didn't want to slip in as easy as they should.

 

thats alright man... they were a hair on the tight side but better im sure than what 93yoter was describing
