Default Looking for 1/2 inch or 3/4th inch blocks

Anyone know of a website that sells 1/2 inch or 3/4th inch blocks? I am having trouble finding anything below 1", but i KNOW ive seen them around before.

Any Links?

You want blocks for the leaf springs, correct?

If so, I think Jegs or Summit should have them. If not, Autozone.

If you are looking for some billet blocks, I will check where I last bought some from on the net.

You pick the width, thickness, and then the charge by the length in inches.

Yeah that sounds good. They have to be less then 1".

3/4th an inch would be perfect.

At that thickness they would be wedges to correct the pinion angle. They do come in that range besides thinner. That is what you want to look for.

Here ya go
