no new is fine, that link dosnt have blocks that are listed for datsuns, what ones would i use?

[banzai510(hainz)]

Belltech makes a 3in with a 2deg angle to lesson the wear on the carrier bearing

part#6202 if I remember right fits right on there!!!!!!!!! till diff do downward anlgle.

 

More than that you need need to but a 1 icn space under carrier bearing if you get a noise or premature wear on bearing

[skunk]

im going to wait to see if i can find some used befor i buy new ones but now i know were im going thanks

[NorCalDime]

i have 3 inch blocks with an angle on them that were on my truck as lift blocks... same concept for lowering. No ubolts though..

[skunk]

i dont see why they wouldnt work, but then i have been wrong befor so if anyone know plz help here. if they do work what to you want for them + shipping 97405

[Guest kamakazi620]

Note you need Skinny blocks,(you can't use reagular size lowering blocks) the u bolt plates on the 620 are narrow,so you need skinny blocks,If i remember right their 1 and 1/2 inch across as aposed to the standard 2"

[fastdadd]

you can get a set of rear springs from a 720 4x4 and that will get you around 3" drop without blocks but you still need to space the center bearing

[NorCalDime]

Mine are 2 1/2 wide and 5 1/2 long.

[skunk]

yeah i think jester was telling me about that

Better to do it without blocks if you can.

is it? whats the diff?

do tell.....blocks put extra levrage on axle...720 springs have a the same rate as 620 ones...yes the aligning pin is different but i have seen a truck with them under it and it does well at the autocross

Exactly, the blocks give the axle more leverage an the springs, giving spring wrap problems and axle hop.

also more leverage when a side load is applied.

 

Blocks are illegal in some states. and you'll never find them under any of my vehicles.

 

they are cheap and easy, but better to do it the right way. :)

go to oreilly auto parts, 3 inch blocks run 35$ tax and all, just be sure to inspect the kit for completeness, sometimes they leave out parts

[skunk]

then should i be looking for 720 4x4 rear springs then?

so blocks are just the cheap easy way to lower the rear end but are not as good for your ride?

[fastdadd]

3" blocks are the biggest ones that auto parts stores will sell...so if you want to get low then go that route....i have 3" degreed blocks on mine with no trouble

Like Braden said Oriellys, or even Advance auto or Auto Zone, they all carry them. I got my 2" ones at Auto Zone for around $30 to $35

Yes, Change or Rearch the springs is a better way to go. blocks work, lots of people use them :rolleyes: , but springs are the right way to go :thumbup:

[skunk]

so heres a little question, can you put 620 springs on a 720 for a 3" lift?

[Sudo]

Yes, Change or Rearch the springs is a better way to go.  blocks work, lots of people use them :rolleyes: , but springs are the right way to go :thumbup:

 

So, for comparisons sake, I priced the Bell Tech blocks at jegs = $50 + shipping. I imagine then this would be another $10 or $20. Between $50 and $70 for blocks.

 

 

Then I called Atlas Spring & Axle (a local shop here in Wichita) it would take them about 1 hour and cost $45 a side for a total of $90 plus tax. For $110 I could roll with no worry. Sure that's 40 smackeroos, but it is cheap piece of mind IMO.

3 inch block of wood + duct tape.

fully customizable.

[sick620]

mine were $25 at autozone. blocks are just fine. Unless you plan on racing or something just get blocks they run fine for street use.
