I've been running 3.5" blocks for over three years and haven't had any trouble at all. But then again, mine are steel and i dont recommend them! If they are steel, and installed correctly, they'll be ok for now but deff change it asap!! Im also changing mine to a bpack soon. Just gotta find the time to make it happen.

With low power, open diffs, and small tires blocks can survive. But you lock it, gear it and such, your rear will twist up like a pretzel! Best to just avoid them tho.

i agree! it is best to avoid them all together. but trust me, i've done some wheeling worthy of destroying almost anything with mine and they've survived. even being on 35's i got a 75 foot run and start snatching on a buddy stuck in a field and they held up. i bent my 6'' drop hitch out almost straight. ahh, good times being a young dumb teenager.

My needle broke off and the little metal pin there, well the other half is stuck in the middle of this.

Buy a new one or hit up up a junk yard. There done once you do that.
