I guess that I am a little behind on a few updates... Here is my lowering block kit.. I couldn't find anything that would work with a 2" wide leaf spring so I made my own blocks. I took a 4" length of 2" x 3" rectangular tubing and cut it length wise. Then I trimmed them down to 1 1/4" high and welded plates to the openings. Now I have to drill the center locating holes. One side will be a open hole and the other will have a machine screw in it. I found some U-bolts that were close enough. All I have to do is squeze the legs together a little bit to match up with the original ones.

Thanks to Fleet Pride in Toledo they threw that on there after cutting the ends off and welding a new middle section in for the mere cost of $376.00. I won't be going back there for any more business. At least the drive shaft is not whipping around now. On the other hand yesterday, I went to a muffler shop and bought 10' of 1 3/4" pipe and had them put a bend in it for $26.50. I got half of the Lake Pipe exhaust system mocked up and actually functional. Now I just have to T in the straight pipe side of things.
