Anyone make a 5" drop block and u-bolts for an s10? Or could I use a 3" and a 2" from the same maker? I'd still need u-bolts too

im pretty sure they dont make a 5 inch block...anything over 3 is rediculous. i personally wouldnt use anything more than a 3" but thats just me.

and NO do NOT stack blocks. reason being is because being stacked will make them shatter. another reason being is if you stack blocks you wont get enough pinion change with the rear end.

your best bet if you want to go that low static, would be to use a block and remove some leaf springs.

you could also go with a 2" block and a 3" drop leaf, check with Belltech to see if they have one that would fit an s-10
thats probably the safest way to static drop it
my mazda was dropped with some 2"x2" box tubes welded together for the 4" drop, and it rode terrible, so its getting bagged slowly

I used to know a guy that had two 3" blocks stacked with a monoleaf on a yota and drove it all the time. It wasnt the safest thing to do, but he did it and didnt have any problems.

I wouldnt recommend stacking blocks!

I ran 5" blocks on my Jimmy back in the day.

Drove it daily for 3 summers, never had a problem. The u-bolts sit pretty close to the ground though.

bought them from shAIM

i had 4'' blocks and mono leafed ''cant spell'' with front bags and air shocks on the back and it worked fine then i bagged the rear with the same set up without the air shocks and it worked fine but when you lay the rear out it drops slow but it works fine its all for sale if you want it just lut me know.

i would not run a 5 inch drop block man! if u do your leaf will be like 2 inches from the ground because of the blocks! then the u bold that will hang down even more. i would just got a drop leaf spring and the add a drop block to it! a had a 3" drop mono leaf spring and a 4 inch angled drop block on my s-10 for a lomg time!
