i got the 4"blocks from sumit and i saw the same thing, i did some searching on the forum and it seems a few have split the blocks i think styline concepts sells the 4"blocks with the plate kit but i'm not 100% sure. very ghey of DJM imo

 

up

 

i wouldnt ever use DJM crap.

 

me niether. go with belltech.

 

belltech doesn't make 4" blocks

 

if u just want a 4" drop in the rear....personally i would use a 3" leaf spring and a 1" block. ive had alot of trouble with 3" and 4" blocks either breaking or tryin to come out. its worse if u have a heavy foot.

He's probably on a budget and/or doesn't want to get that far into it

 

ya this is temporary since he's bagging the back soon.

 

beltech baby

 

Western Chassis and Bell Tech have the best blocks available, but Belltech only goes to 3", Western Chassis has 4" angled blocks. And you don't need any "block plates", whatever the hell those are.

:stupid: And Western Chassis is almost just as good as Belltech in my book.

 

Just as good to me.... they had the first S-10 Drop spindle... even before belltech.....

Yeppers that is correct. I am actually running thier drop spindles.

 

I ran 4" DJM angled blocks on my truck for over a year and around 80K miles and never had a problem with them at all. When I took them off they were dirty, but other than that they still looked like new. I didn't get nothing besides the blocks and ubolts.

 

they are probably an angled plate. They probably are selling you a straight block. You should, you don't have to, but should, have an angled block to keep the geometery of the driveshaft

 

It sounds to me like these "block plates" that they are talking about are pinion shims. The price would be about right for them too. That's about all I can think of that they could be. If you get angled blocks you don't need them and if you have a reg cab you don't need them either.

 

where do i buy western chassis shit?

actually you do need angled blocks with 4" to keep pinion correct. otherwise you'll have some vibration.


i also had 4" djm blocks on my truck for a while, and they were fine

Just one place you can get them from. There are others.

I have DJM 4" block's on my truck and havn't had a problem in almost a year which include's hauling my quad's, they are angled also.
I did get a sheet that said you need the plate but I havn't used it.
I have thier spindle's too and they look just as good as beltech spindle's. havn't had a problem with them either.

I have beltech coil's and they have been fine.
only brand's I would buy are beltech, DJM, and western chassis.

 

Yeah, I have a 3" straight block and Zq8 leaves and have had no vibration. I've had them on for 7 months

Ain't you just the lucky one

 

yea i may just pull a leaf out of the zq8 pack. all this controversy over four inch blocks is ridiculous.

 

just make sure the blocks are angled, and you'll be fine.

 

yea i have 4" angled DJM blocks... and spindles and the quality is fine? and i have yet to have any trouble with the blocks and a pulled leaf.... and i got a heavy foot eather ripping around town or burning tire... but the wheel hop is a Bish.... but other then that the parts are fine
