lift blocks in the junkyard

so i was at the junkyard, and a late model superduty was sitting there.
i noticed in the bed were 2 factory lift blocks.
about 1.5 or 2 inches in height.
they also had extensions for bumpstops to hit.
now i am pretty sure they are 3 inch wide blocks, and the Xj leafs are 2.5 inches wide...but is there any reason i could not use them with my leafs?

i know most people dont like blocks, but i am not asking about who likes them and who doesnt, just if i could use wider blocks on narrower leafs... i dont see why not, but thought i would ask.

these are 4" blocks but you get the idea:

You MIGHT get some spring walk, but your DEFINITELY gonna get some axle wrap

Search lift blocks. Nobody will tell you they're a good idea, UNLESS you run a traction bar to prevent spring wrap. A bastard pack can be built using junk yard springs pretty cheaply and it will perform better.

well ima tell you i dont like em' anyway!

you wont like them, and your springs definately wont like them

Just shy away.

ok ok, they were just tempting because they have the bump stop extension and the extra 1.5 inches was what i was thinking of adding when i go to 31s.
thanks!

you can buy/make u-bolt plates that have an extension for the bumpstops

i run dpg bumpstop plates and homebrew upper extensions with universal poly bumpstops




(i run alotta bumpstoppage)

I made my own bumpstop/spring plates using 1/2 plate, total cost was 15 bucks for metal, paint and primer.
