Does anyone have pictures of a 1" or 2" axle blocks? I was thinking about buying some to try out but i'm pretty sure i could make a set real quick to see how it works and looks. I think i have enough thread left on the u-bolt for 1 inch spacers, and I have some 1" thick steel i could use. Just wanted to see some pics first before i started.

thanks

the blocks have indexing holes for the spring perch and a "nub" for the spring bottom so they dont move around. no pics thou. other wise pretty much just a chunk of painted steel

Why is this? What happens? I can see the extra leverage on the axle, but if i clamp to the overlaods won't it prevent any axle movement?
