    I spoke with him on the phone late last week and he is a few weeks behind on orders. I've got 3" blocks on order from him.

    Are his blocks powder coated or just painted?

    Im gonna bend the tab on the axle back to keep from hitting also the brake lines on the axle that connect up to the frame Im gonna see if i can bend them back as well to keep em from hitting each other I've seen people with just running the 4 inch blocks start to rub the brake lines so thats my plan i know he rubs the E-brake which i should be fine unless i raised the carrier bearing which i prolly won't do but because the single cabs are one piece drive shaft they will rub !

    but I'm gonna have a lot of work ahead gotta trim the fender wells in the bed to keep from rubbing, bend the brake lines and tabs and hopefully with the combo of stiffer gas charged shocks and 4x4 leafs i won't be bottoming out inside the notch!!

    hmmm hehe i wouldn't mind trying them 4" DJM blocks out my friends are cheap aluminum kine:p
