OK , got a question on my sons s-10 rear leaf springs.. We can't agree on where the blocks should go on his rear end to raise it. Above the springs between the springs and rear axle housing or below the springs and between them and the shock and spring perch.
I say between the axle and springs. He says below the springs.

If the axel is above the springs you can not lift it with blocks, it would require you to flip the axel below the springs. If the axel is already below the springs then the blocks go in between the axel and spring to lift it.

Hmmm, figures. The axle is above the springs. Stock setup only someone took out the overload and 1 regular spring and lowered the rear. The truck came with blocks and he said they would raise it back up. Guess we need to find another rear or get the other springs to put back in. Maybe I'll just give him mine to swap and find a ford nine inch for mine.
