Exactly stock leafs not blocks fault . When installed on aftermarket lift spring and installed properly . There will be no issues.

Thanks for the video. Seeing wrap in action helps you understand what is really happening under there.

That's with out blocks...so blaming blocks seems to be putting the horse b4 the cart hugh. Weak springs are mostly to blame blocks just magnify a trouble area already.
