    My 1993 Toyota pickup has drop spindles, drop leaf springs, and 3" drop blocks. I have a problem with the driveshaft grinding on my cross member. Does the taper drop blocks make a difference on the driveshaft?? Lmk ASAP

    Sound like you need to notch the cross member buddy. The angled blocks are just for pinion angle.

    With the drop springs and blocks you'll need to notch the crossmember.

    @Easnitn38 send me some pic of the cm notch. Did you notch your frame too? If so let see some pics. Wondering how I should do it.
