[Fred85]

Sorry if this is a repost or just plain dumb, but i'm a suspension noob and i thought it was kinda neat

Yeah, but have you seen these yet? http://www.tntcustoms.com/webv3/ubolteliminators.asp
Several products combined into one, relatively cheap, seemingly well-built product. No, I'm not affiliated with them. I just like simplicity and combining things when logical and elegant in design.

I think they did an article in Petersons 4wheel and offroad Mag, was the January issue.

^that's actually where i got it from, lol

^^haven't seen those yet, looks like a good product though. These Zero Rate things are only $40 though, TNT's are $130

And yes, those do look like a pretty good idea, too.

They're still just a block.
At least an add-a-leaf wont add to the axle wrap problem inherent in XJ setups.

so basically the TNT kit is like a lift block sandwich??

Is that any better than blocks of those heights?

Its not a block, blocks don't bolt to the leafpack, its really a thick leaf. Fullsize guys have been running these a long time. I had a zero rate on my Tahoe.

No matter what they call it, it's a block. Granted, it bolts to the pack, as a true leaf would, but it's still a block.

Holy Cow, I'm seeing a golden oppurtunity to rename a whole bunch of crappy products and sell them at a good mark up under the URF name!

Z-shackles would become "Torsional Load Sensing Spring Bind Eliminators."

"Torsionsal Underframe Relocation Device" would probably be more apropos.
