    I’ve got 3” blocks on my 86. Don’t want to cut my bumpstops. Anybody know where I can get some low profile bumpstops.The stock ones have 2 bolts. Belltech offers a one bolt universal,that I’d have to fabricate to fit. Hopefully someone here knows where to get a couple direct fit 2 bolt low profile urethane bumpstop.Thnx !

    Yeah... I totally regret not "pre-buying" his blocks, u-bolts, and bumpstops and storing them in my garage instead of waiting to buy it all when I was ready to install.

    I always tell my friends, "if you can afford it, go ahead and buy it." Should have taken my own advice. Lesson re-learned...

    SDyota or mjbtaco on IG should be able to make blocks. And there are 4x4 sites that sell u-bolts, thats how i got mine

    Yeah, 4Wheelparts sells the u-bolts. They have the various widths, lengths, and thicknesses so you can get the right sized ones. I was going to go there until I saw beefedtaco's parts. But, I guess now I have to go back to Plan A...

    I looked at a lot of fabricated blocks on ebay but they're all tapered. So, I think I'll just try making my own, unless I find a pair of flat, fabricated blocks for sale, somewhere...

    Depending on how tall of a block you want, youll need it tapered to maintain the pinion angle
