cool thx

 

Is a 1.5 inch block big enough for axle wrap problems on a non offroad DD?

 

Sweet shots!

 

Thanks man haha! Just some quick iPhone action

 

You need a shim not a block. Shims correct the angle of the driveline and will help with wrap. A blocks just going to lift the rear it won't solve anything, and most likely will make it worse.

Shim:

 

Same here



Jason, guess I ain't coming up after all

 

Jelly!

 

So block = no good. Block + shim = okay.

Am I pickin' up what you're puttin' down?

 

Wait. What exactly is the question?

You're currently having axle wrap problems?

Or you want to add a block and you hope not to introduce any axle wrap problems?

 

No wrap issues. A local member has a 1.5" block sitting in his garage from the old lift his truck had when he purchased it.

Just toying with the idea since my 5100s come in today on the brown truck of sticking it on the rear and setting 5100 to 1.75, or keeping it stock 3 leaf in rear and setting at .85

 

Only considering the idea of the block because of the 5100s, also. An AAL or new pack would be lift but I don't haul everyday so it'd be worsening my ride quality which I want to avoid. The block would maintain the ride quality I have now or just make it slightly worse as far as I know. Vibes would kill me though, had them for 4 days and driving was not enjoyable at all. Don't want vibes, axle wrap, crappy ride.

 

I'll just stick with the stock rear height then. Last thing I want to do is make changes I don't NEED to make and end up in a rabbit hole of issues and chasing down corrections.

 

i have some deaver AAL ill let go for cheapp.

 

For a 2nd gen?

 

Who knows, they are for leaf springs that's all I know.

 

I assumed they were specific. Let me toss the idea around. Thanks for the offer.

 

Thanks for clarifying. Lifting isn't my area of vast knowledge and hands on experience.
