Homemade Drag Blocks

My friend made me some blocks cuz he was bored in welding class, he though my frame area that i wnated them mounted was a little lower, so we gotta make them taller (actual block).

Tell me what you think, he was in a hurry so the holes arent perfect area, might need to be bigger also. If he doesnt know anyone who can use them, i will sell them for $5+ shipping cuz im poor as hell and i wanna pay him a little for making me a new set LOL

i have been thinking, why not just use a 2" ball hitch to use as a drag block? weld/bolt a bracket onto the frame like a normal block, then just bolt on the ball! hehe, replaceable drag blocks for cheap!

Re: Homemade Drag Blocks

lol didnt even think of that. (my username) Yea i dragged a bit when i was younger. Realized quickly it makes no sense to put countless hours into a truck to make it nice, only to drag it and ruin it. Nothing worse than spending like 80 hours on your tailgate, and dragging over a manhole cover and ripping it all apart lol
