    I took it to Valley Hi in Victorville. Spoke to Andy, a service advisor. They did load it down- with sand bags I think- I didn't watch. Apparently they were satisfied with the results because they put the parts on order. Where are you at?

    I keep hearing blocks cause axel wrap or something. I already have the TSB done, so the AAL is not an option, are blocks a good option or do you recoment against them?

    Basically axle wrap happens when a torque on the axle, caused by breaking or even serious engine torque, causes the axle to twist against the mounts. Something like that. A spacer block basically adds leverage, so the potential for axle wrap is intensified. Does that make sense?

    My opinion though- I have a 1" block. I don't really think it's going to add that much leverage on the axle. a 2" block or greater- yeah could be a problem. I'm not worried. Use your own judgment but I'd recommend the blocks if you have the TSB.
