    I would echo some of the guys on here for ditching the blocks and going with the aal's and 5100's the rear is much smoother and absorbs bumps better than the front. Not too much $$ and wow, what an improvement!

    Yeah I am really pushing for the 5100's and I'm also ordering wheel spacers right now too so after all that I will deal with the blocks...
    As much as they suck, for some reason I like the simple idea of throwing a huge chunk of metal in and resulting in a nice lift lol.

    Well... using your words, an AAL IS a huge chuck of metal that results in a nice lift :D

    Ehhhhh....idk man
    I'm not into that. If body lifts were the way to go then I think you would see robby gordan and the baja boys running them....as well as other pro froaders.

    I'll pass on the body lifts

    true...but there is a lot of evidence against body lifts and I have heard great things about well made wheel spacers. As far as blocks go, hey, mine has done everything I wanted it to so I can't complain. Its an easy solution to a suspension lift. The axle wrap doesn't bother me much but I will probably look at an AAL here soon for multiple reasons...
