Replaced Lift blocks w/ AALs (1 Viewer)

[greenseaman]

We finally got to replace my cracked 3" Aluminum lift blocks with a set of Add a leaves that my brother had left over from his lift kit for his SAS on his mud truck. The previous owner had installed in the rear some blocks that must have been for a Chevy or something. The blocks were too big and mushroomed over the sides of the spring perches on the axle. One had even cracked. I'll get some pictures of the cracked block tomorrow when I can get the camera out of the jeep. They had also used used u-bolts upside down on the top of the axle wrapped around the spring plates instead of the axle. It was crazy! I don't know what they were thinking. I'm glad it's finally fixed! A lot of thanks go out to my lil brother and Corey for getting it done! I guess we're ready for URE now! Can't wait!

I'm glad you got that fixed.

does it still ride as high or higher? I guess what I'm asking is do the tires still rub?

 

[greenseaman]

Well the height is the same, maybe a little higher in the rear but it should settle. The tires may still rub a little. The front is where they rubbed the most.

Here's a bad pic of the messed up block!

Doesn't look like it is cracked, though. I thought we saw a crack in it somewhere.

It may have been the one on the other side that was cracked... I just saved one of them.
