Lol! Point taken. Evidence of the Explorer design flaws is well documented and is widely available. I haven't seen any solid evidence of the stacked block highway carnage. If credible evidence exists I would want to know so I can start worrying about my lift blocks.

 

you can get away with stacking blocks. but if you have any amount of common sense you realize its not the best idea. the farther you get the axle from the leaf the more leverage you put on it. just like getting a breaker bar with a longer handle to remove a nut. and if you dont weld or get a single block the chances of the blocks moving because its not one piece is obviously higher...

NOT SAYING YOU SHOULDNT OR CANT DO IT!

 

Do you know what size my stock blocks are? (2001 ram 5.9 4x4) and what size big block would i need or if i add a block what size you think would look good with my 2.5" levaling kit to even it out and make it look good?

 

your stock rear blocks are 3" tall. if your putting on a 2.5" leveling kit you could get a 4.5" or 5" or 5.5". depends on if you want your truck to sit lower in the front a little or level...

 

Okay, thanks, i think im going to go with a 4.5" rear block from topgun

 

Do the blocks from them include the little arm for the bump stop?

 

or YOU just spent way too much time on dodgeforum.com!

 

no they dont...

 

a add-a-leaf could also get you a couple inches of lift in the rear, but probably cost more than the blocks, ive always been told that blocks aint the best idea in the world but thats all hear say, hell do what you want cause its your truck and if they dont work they dont work

 

The reason blocks 'ain't the best' is because they move the axle further from the spring. That gives it more leverage to bend the spring into a nice pretzel shape, and gives you things like wheel hop..... aal's won't do that trick.
