Lowering blocks?

[BoredandStroked]

Does anyone have a picture of how lowering blocks are installed? I probably shoudl have put this in the suspension thread but this applys to more than A-bodys and actually general Mopar (trucks). Thanks!

I don't have a picture, but they just sit between the leaf spring & the axle housing, making the axle sit higher in the wheelwell & lowering the car by the thickness of the blocks.

Yea I do know that much, just would like a pic to see how to set it up and whats all invlovled besides the longer U-bolts and such.

There's really nothing more involved than longer u-bolts. We used some cheap cast aluminum ones that cracked. I have a bar of a very hard aluminum alloy that we made some from. No pics, though.

If you are trying to do this on a truck it won't work because truck rear ends are mounted under the spring. On a most trucks blocks raise and on cars (rear on top of the springs) they lower.
