lift blocks

[bugleboy]

are lift blocks as big of a no no as some say? is anyone using them now? does anyone know of someone who had trouble with axel wrap or anything? i have a 2wd cherokee and im gonna put lift blocks inthe back about 1.5" tall

As long as the blocks arent stacked they are fine. People run them all the time. I do. And I wheel the heck out of it. I run a 2 inch block in my xj

thank you lol this guy on the cherokeeforum was sending me all these pages of why they are bad and everything, this is the lift i just got

its a little on te cheap side but i think it a good lift for a 2wd xj DD and light offroad toy

Blocks are perfectly fine to run as are coil spring spacers, like Jester said just dont stack them. Just gotta watch the blocks with old leaf springs. They tend to give you even more axle wrap after awhile

Rusty is a pretty easy guy to deal with. Been with him on a few rides.

Nothing wrong with moderately sized lift blocks in the rear, as long as you can keep axlewrap down. I used to run 2" blocks in the rear of a '98 XJ and never had a problem.

 

[bugleboy]

even though i went with another lift, i was wondering if traction springs like this one will reduce axle wrap

 

[Bounty__Hunter]

It will, but it may also make the ride more stiff.

Rusty is the owner of Rusty's Offroad. It's the mans name not just the name of his company and I've ridden with him several times.

oh cool lol i thought it was rustys as in rust , its nice to see tht the owner of a big business like that still gets to go out and ride every once in a while

 

[xjmarc]

It's actually a fairly small buisness and he wheels the orange XJ that's on his site.

 

[bugleboy]

oh i always thought it was a big company, do you know what the shipping i like? if i order from them will it get here in days or weeks? cause i need this lift asap

 

[xjmarc]

Usually ships that day or the next as long as it's in stock.

 

[bugleboy]
