I concur. But some times the jeep gods give you aluminum & you run it till it breaks.

I have 1" blocks in mine but they're steel. Aluminum isn't bad if its a solid block and not hollowed out.

I think the ones under my jeep are steel. They were on it from the dkmbass precious owner. I can't stand blocks in the first place. I should be pulling them in the next couple weeks
