Anyone have opinions regarding lowering blocks? I am going to drop my car about an inch sooner or later, but I have fairly new (and stiffer than stock) leaf springs on the car and it'd be a shame to get rid of them already. Lowering blocks seem to be an option, but they also sorta... well... they do seem like a half-assed solution, to be sure. While I realize its not optimal, as long as there aren't any major risks and it won't completely mess up any aspects of the car's performance, they'd be a cheap solution until I have more money for rear leafs...
On a similar note, does anyone know where to buy longer/wider u-bolts? The ones I have around my 9inch now barely fit, and only do because we bent the hell out of them. I couldn't for the life of me find any new u-bolts that'd fit my car when I put the rear in, so i had to reuse the ones from the old 8 inch rear. If I got lowering blocks, longer/sturdier/wider u-bolts would be a necessity, so yeah, if you know where to get some let me know.
