Does anyone have any opinions on using adjustable lowering blocks. I just finished installing a pocket kit in the 56 I bought global west L18 springs when I let it down off the lift for the first time I wasn’t happy. Car sit way high in the rear. I added a second hole in the rear shackles but think I might have interference with the spring & frame notch was better but still too high plus really screwed up the pinion angle. Next I put the rear shackles back in the lower hole & added a old set of 2” blocks I had this dropped the car 2” probably 1/2 inch lower than the car set before the pocket kit & pinion angle is now close.I think I now have 2 options have the springs re arched or buy 1 1/2” blocks I saw some that can adjust the rear axle forward or rearward which can help clearance to front fender lip any opinions I do like to beat on it & looking forward to finally having some traction thanks all second picture is with the 2” blocks

Hi John, not disagreeing with you but speaking from my very limited experience... :sign0020:
So far I have had my new Danchuk 'stock factory replacement regular duty' 5-leaf springs installed for almost a year and maybe 800 miles; they settled 1/4" within the first 48 hours...and that was it. I removed a leaf from each side and that was good for another 3/8".
Still too high for me, so I will be exploring other lowering options after the new year.
