    I have ordered alot of stuff from nightprowlers never had a problem i know the owner was sick for some time. The easy route is to make your own.
     
  3. yes, i found it's just easier and quicker to make my own. by the time a find them in some suppliers catalog/website i can have them done....that is if you have the tools to do it. you get exactly what you want with no compromises

    Proper width? those junk chinese blocks sheer the pin if you drive like I do. I broke one at the big end of mokan at the 09 drags. I'll never cheap out again, I made my own from a solid aluminum block and a steel bolt

    Bought 3" blocks from Summit.
    They have a correct taper to the front of the car to keep the rear-axle and U-joint-angle in alignment aswell.
    They are made of castiron.
