Factory blocks?

BudRacing · 03-26-2007, 12:18 AM

I've got a 99 2wd 2dr and I noticed that there are 1" blocks between my leafs and axles. Another guy in my apartment complex has a blazer X and I know his leafs are zq8's, but he doesn't have any blocks. I bought my blazer and everything about it was 100% stock at 103k. Were these 1" blocks factory? or did the previous owner stick them in there to level it out?

I beleive the previous owner just put them in to level it out that's all..

You can just take them out if you want to keep it all stock though.
Personally, I'd leave em' in to look nicer.

No way I'm takin them out. I already dropped the front 1" to compensate for the springs sagging.

And? Did they come factory or did you buy it that way? I kinda doubt any block is factory now that I've asked and thought about it...

so why take the blocks off? it will only make the front lower than the back. why keep the coils if ya wanna undrop the back?
