whats the point of the blocks.....


Recommended Posts

that go between the body and the carrier bearing? on a lifted soob that is.

 

just looking at them it puts the front half of the rear driveshaft at a bad angle, also the car likes to snag the carrier bearing on rocks and rip it to hell.

 

i figured this out on my first 4 wheeling trip in the wagon.. tore that carrier bearing to shreds, then bent it back againts the u-joint.. had to bend it with a prybar to get it off the u-joint just so i could make it home.. luckily it didn't break or i woulda been stuck in a mud bog..

 

i snagged a spare driveshaft and put it in with the blocks out.. and when looking at it its a perfectly straight line from the trans to the rear diff like it should be..

 

ahh well, done ranting now..

your talking about the lift blocks right?

what size lift are you running?

I run a 2" lift at the moment, that mean 2" blocks all round.. When i first got the car it didn't have the rear torsion bar tensioned up, so the car was level and the "prop shaft" has going downward towards the rear diff. Long story short, I tightened up the torsion bar and now the back is up higher, but the "prop shaft" is straight now...

I noticed a lot of people use 4" front and 3" rear lift. This would cause the "problem" you are talking about... thats if I under stood what you are talking about...
