Description:
The strength of MaxTrac fabricated aluminum blocks against cast blocks, MaxTrac aluminum blocks are stronger than any cast block available without a doubt. These blocks come with a smooth powder-coated finish in our signature gunmetal gray color, rather than the rough and sometimes raw finish of cast blocks – nothing a customer actually feels good about putting on their vehicle. We strive to make every part of ours not only functional, but also great looking with clean welds and beautiful finishes.
With the use of separate parts that are hand-welded together to form our blocks, we're able to offer up more variations to address different fitments such as the 2007-2012 Chevy 1500 Crew Cabs that require an offset pin in the rear, for the same price.

Q: What do block kits do? Why purchase a block kit?
A: Block kits are designed to lower vehicles that use leaf spring suspension (such as most trucks), and are normally offered in 1-inch increments. There are different ways to lower the rear of your truck, and in general, using a block kit is considered the most affordable and easiest way.
Q: How do you install a block kit?
A: Block kits are installed between your rear axle and the leaf springs using U-bolts to fasten the leaf spring and block together. The U-bolts are specially made for the size of blocks you get, so always rest assured that the U-bolts that come with the block kit you purchase will be the right size to fasten your new blocks. You install the block kit beneath the leaf springs if you want to lift the vehicle, and you install them above the leaf springs (which need to be re-located beneath rear axle) to lower it.
Q: Can a block kit be used to lift a vehicle?
A: Yes, absolutely. You can put the block kit on other side of the leaf springs to 'raise them' and your vehicle. You can use a block kit to raise or lower your vehicle; the block kit system works the same either way by putting space between the leaf spring and axle. You just decide if you want to make the leaf spring go up (lower the vehicle), or down (lift the vehicle).
Q: Does a block kit lower the front or the rear of a truck/SUV?
A: Block kits are used to lower the rear of a truck only. Due to the fact that the front and rear suspension on trucks are different (in order to accommodate the load of cargo a truck bed is built to carry), blocks kits are not applicable to front suspension of any truck. A common form of front suspension on trucks is a set of coil springs for example, and block kits do not work with coil springs.
Q: Is a block kit only used on certain vehicles?
A: Block kits are only used on vehicles that utilize leaf springs in their suspension set-up. Block kits are used in conjunction with leaf springs.
