This may be a dumb question, but I know it's an easy answer. What's the point of the block for leaf springs when lowering... what does it do? Thanks!
 






On our Explorers, the axle rests on top of the leaf spring. The block spaces the axle from the spring, thus lowering the spring more towards the ground. Since the spring attaches to the frame: lowered truck.
 






Thanks for the quick answer! Knew it was fairly easy to answer! Checked out your site, have you run your X on the track? Have any times? Let me know!
 






Right now with the 33's and full offroad gear I run flat 16 seconds.
