I understand the therory of leverage and acceleration . your spring wrap would be neglable with stock tires (or 31's) and an open diff . (unless your popin' the clutch , doin' burn outs , and light to light racing )

but again .. in my opinion , the blocks are not the reason for the spring failier .. they may have accellerated your spring issues , because of weak springs .. but the springs obviously were weak in the first place .

and I have read the thread .. the whole thread .

"Anyone want a good reason to not run lift blocks?" is not accurate .. It should read .. What happens to weak springs when adding blocks .

differant strokes I guess ..

I would agree blocks alone are not a good thing .. as I have always used a "spring wrap " device along with them ..
