I thought this was a bad idea? This guy has this on his truck. Is this how they do 4wd trucks? Just stack the aftermarket blcok on top of the factory one?

 

thats a pretty bad idea. I guess it can be done though if you really dont care.

 

Yes its a bad idea. I would HIGHLY discourage you from doing so. Its very dangerous and even with the 4" block you'll get enough axle wrap to cringe.

But, whos truck is that?

 

If you've seen the block "notches" that hold one another together you'd feel a little discouraged, but there isn't a lot of pressure on these to slide out so it's not a rediculous idea. I believe SalFx4 did this and he's taken his truck offroad if that brings you any comfort. I have a 5" fab block and the axle wrap is not something you notice (happens very quick). If it's going to snap on anyones truck I'm sure it's going to be mine with all the great luck I have. Throw some ladder bars on there and you'll sleep like a baby.

Also, not sure what these blocks are made out of but you can quickly weld or wrap them together for a little more support, duct tape is your friend. Regardless, you still have your leafpack to worry about.

 

The rule use to be "DON'T STACK BLOCKS ON THE FRONT". While stacking blocks is never the best way to do it...stacking them on the back use to be acceptable. That was because of the likely hood of them seperating during turns. Its been 10 years since I have really had or messed with a lifted 4wd so things may have changed since then.
Thumper (I am not doubting you at all...just curious), why would axel rap be worse with a 2in and a 4in block stacked than it would be with a single 6in block? Are the blocks seperating?

 

No, you misunderstood me. I meant axle wrap is bad enough with a single 4" block and if you stack another block on there its only going to make things worse.

 

No way would duct tape hold that together with the amount of force that goes through these suspensions. Weld them together or bolt them together is a more viable recommendation.

 

stacking blocks in the rear is really not very dangerous. Of course if you can use 1 big block thats better. However what that picture shows isnt really dangerous. I am willing to bet that, that guy can take his truck offroad and trash it.. And the rear end will still be fine.. I would bet that he breaks something from the front IFS suspension before he has a problem with his stacked blocks.

however NEVER NEVER NEVER stack blocks in the front.. A matter a fact dont even use blocks in the front..

 

Its kinda an ongoing joke.. he was not making a serious suggestion...

 

You'd be surprised what could be tried if someone misunderstood.

 

Axle wrap and play all together will be increased. Definite no no... just buy one large block to achieve that amount of lift.

Look at the helper spring in the picture... already twisting like a ****.

Who's truck is that?

 

 

Exactly and its really not under any sort of load. .

 

ummm i'll find the guys who truck it is....its a member of the site and he posts alot.
