Do you have lift blocks on the steer axle?

Yea. Only about 2 1/2 inches. Springs also have been clamped down nice and tight to eliminate axle wrap.

I guess you have never seen blocks pop out, especially off-roading. Never a smart move.

Sounds good though.

Oh I've watched plenty pop out. But this truck won't ever see hardcore offroading. Just driving to the local mud bog play around and drive home. I've already done a lot of things to ensure the blocks won't come out.
Most of the people I've watched with blocks think they know it all and forget to nut and bolt everything before they play. Even though it hasn't cost a lot to build this thing I always double check everything drain all fluids and fill back up with new fluids everytime I go play.
My next offroad toy will be 4 linked s10 and not as tall lol.
