does such a thing even exist? If you've got some, i need 'em. Cheap, preferably, or trade for taller blocks (I think i've got 2" aluminum and 3" cast ones).
Thanks in advance

I have some 2" zero rate things that have a 5 degree taper machined into em so they're a little shorter. They bolt to the spring pack but the angled surface is not recessed so the bolt will sit level. You could probably do it with a good enough job with a drill though. $30

No on the Ford thing...

...but O'Reilly and Auto Zone do carry them as lowering blocks I believe.

What'll you give me for em? They cost me $100 new. They are solid steel and the top edges are rounded so they wont crack the springs.

You paid $100 for lift blocks!? (just playin)
If they're 2" I really can't use them...I don't have enough threads sticking out of the u-bolts

Yah it was like $100 total. $20 shipping (solid steel 2x3x6 blocks) and I had them custom made so they were more expensive than normal zero-rates. They're probably too tall for you though. Oh well.

Come now, you don't think Uglyfab has a chopsaw? ;) Edit: and a drill
got ready to chop the blocks with it last night and it didn't seem like a great idea anymore...
I've got it figured out. Thanks for the offer tho
