Re: lowering blocks
Are you talking about a coil spring or leaf spring rearend? If for coil springs, I used 2x2 square tubing, I believe they were something like 6 inches long. They are just as long as the trailing arm perch that is welded to the axle tube.

Re: lowering blocks
I just went to measure it, it looks like it is actually 6 3/4 inches long.
Where are you at in Iowa? I go up there at least once a year for work, all over the state.

Re: lowering blocks
I know I've been through Lawton, can't say that I've stopped there though.
