WTB: 3" lowering blocks 1968 520

[Ofeargall]

Anybody in the Monmouth, Independence, Dallas, Salem, Corvallis, Albany area got some blocks and 'U' bolts they want to sell? Thanks in advance.

I beleave they sell kits at the auto parts stores that you can buy, at least 2 inch kits for a reasonable price.

Thanks wayno. I was thinking there might be a member of my local Datsun community that started with 3" and decided to go 4". I'll likely pick up a set online if I can't find anything local/used. We've got an event coming up that I want to take my truck to and I really want to have it lowered by then. If not, it's no big deal.

 

Hey, do you know if I need to have any pinion angle correction with a 3" drop?

I would go 3inch with 2deg Belltech blocks. 30-35$

 

anymore than 3 inch your risking carrier bearing issues 5sped noise ect......

Have you considered doing a leaf shuffle? It costs nothing unless you decide to use a new eye bolt.

Hmmm, leaf shuffle? Tell me more. This isn't a dance step, is it?

I've got a one-piece driveline and the original 4 speed. Having said that, I'm still cautious of moving forward with blocks that don't use an angle correction. But, I'm certainly not the expert so I have no real evidence to back up my concerns.
