Question Rear Blocks

Where can I buy rear blocks for a dodge ram 1500? I have tried looking online and no one seems to have them for a 1500. And if there are any can someone give me a brand and what type are good steel, cast, etc.

Very easy to get blocks and U-bolts, etc.

Any lift shops or sellers of lift kits, components, etc. 4 Wheel Parts, Performance Lifts, etc.

Also any auto parts store will either carry them or can get them in a day...

Stay away from the aluminum ones if you come across some. I've had one break as I was turning left a stoplight under regular driving conditions and had to pull over and get my axle back in place in a parking lot. If 4 wheel parts doesn't show em online just call them and they will set you up.

Yeah, I meant to say that in my post, poly is the way to go, these modern polymers they have now are stronger than steel. Hell, back in the day, they used to use hockey pucks!!!

Thanks for your help everyone. The problem here is that most places have them, but they are only for 2500/3500 trucks and I even checked with readylift where i bought my level kit and they said it will be a few months they are in the making.
