3" blocks - best brand?

Looking at AS or Readylift. Any suggestions?

What about the bump stops? Readylift has them and AS don't. Does it really make a difference?

I got the AS's but hven't had a chance to put them on yet. I know this wasn't much help but if I get them put on soon I will let you know.

Sounds great. I appreciate the input. Have been reading about both. Don't see much difference except for the bump stop tabs on Readylift. Just wanted to get everyone's thought before I made my decision.

I have the autospring 3" blocks and wouldn't order them again. The construction doesn't seem as solid as the cast blocks and they don't have a tab for the bump stops.
In fact I have considered ordering the ready lift blocks and throwing the AS blocks out. I have heard from other members here that their AS blocks have cracked. While I haven't found cracks in mine yet, I won't be a bit surprised when I do.

The Autospring u-bolts are also not coated in any way. I was pretty suprised to look under a week after installing them to see them covered in rust.
