Blocks are that bad seeing that our leaf springs are too weak to handle them. On a big truck you can get away with it because the leafs are thicker. Or unless you have black magic.
Blocks make the axle work like a lever against the leaf springs. Axle wrap is a big issue with blocks because of that lever action

Yeah but remember Gary has black magic so everything goes out the window.
Everyone is entitled to their own method, but its simple physics, blocks put more stress on your components, sometimes to the point of failure, sometimes not. Theirs plenty of horror stories with blocks that I would rather be excluded from. Especially on a daily driver

Josh, was with Paul tonight. Got the dimensions you sent via text. If you have the broken block, it'll make it 10000 times easier to reproduce.
Shoot me a text. And next question, are you mobile in any way or form?
Off topic a bit, if any of y'all need welding/ fabricating done, pm me, yeh josh and I got a guy.
