    these things are a half arsed measure at best, sure if you want 1 1/2 " lower than stock and keep full length springs they are ok, but what they essentially do is put your suspension closer to the bumpstop, so if you cut springs as well you will end up with NO travel. The lower arms are also much closer to the deck, and capable of catching on railroad crossings etc...not fun. flip your spindles. MUCH better, keeps full suspension travel and with some careful realignment can actually improve handling on a shoebox somewhat.
    by the way , have a Nomenclature question..are these blocks what are sometimes called "boogie blocks"?

    I used the kit also did have to modify the sway bar clamps also used fatman spindles and steering arms .Both will give you about 41/2 inches without limiting arm movement and then used posie rear spings with 4" blocks on my old 50
