Going to follow Black Magics "tutorial" on dropping my sport.
BUT i noticed when looking at a set of generic blocks at autozone( i just happened to be near one)that they are cast and have some sort of a "knob" on one side. From what i can see from Magics site his blocks look different, almost like a solid material... Am I wrong? Anyway, does this "knob"(cant think of a better word for it) work with our springs? I am assuming it sets down into the spring to keep it from moving(the block).

Also, i am going to pick up a set of rims fairly soon, should i wait to lower the truck until i get the rims and then have it alligned ASAP. Or if i lower it now with the stockers, how long can i run it without an allignment without causing harm.
Will the camber be way off?

What is the best auto supply store...autozone, carquest, pepboys...?? I am in the Phoenix area.

All i know is this is going to be SO much easier to lower than the Chore it was to drop my Girlfriends 01 Celica.
Freaking Multilink suspension...That was a 9 hour project.
 






anyone?
BTW what is with this "hacked by NO SUV" stuff when i open the site
 






No those are the same type blocks. The knob is to be there. That is what keeps the bolck from moving arround.

Let me know if you need any other help.
