Body blocks
Moderators: toaddog, Elmo, DUDELUX
mate i did a 2" lift on a SC style side ute it was 6 blocks on the cab and 8 on the tray - i think.
I made the blocks, well got a mate to, just cut 50mm sections out of 50mmOD solid steel bar and drilled a 12mm hole in the centre. got 10mm OD bolts (grade 8.8 - high tensile) and the total came to $78 including the $50 cash for the mate to nick the stuf from work and cut it up etc in work time. plus the can of black kill rust.
Did it this way cause if i get done by the pigs i can get it approved (due to solid steel constrauction and 8.8 bolts - this is the accepted standard.)
These poly blocks work but will not usually be accepted by DOT. I think some states are accepting poly blocks that have been sleeved by steel both on the outside of the block and on the inside, stilll have to use grade 8.8 bolts to maintain the integtity of the sheer strength.
wow that was long

On Tonka's reccommendation, I used Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethelene. Got them engineered too. He said he prefferred aluminium but it was OK. (Lucky he didn't ask about crush tubes!!)
I used half 50mm and half 75mm diameter so the blocks were all the same size as the original mounts so I still have 1/2 a metre of both sizes if its any use to anyone. Just cut to size and drill out the middle (I got the holes done on a lathe cos I'm a fussy bastard)
