[QUOTE="TARM, post: 308546, member: 578"] I was looking at your block design and at first I did not like the bolt setup but that was just at a very quick glance. When I took a bit to actually see how you have setup on the inside I liked it a lot more. You have the steel sides of the two parts actually taking most all the twisting force along with the friction and lock in to the leaf springs with the captured Ubolts. There is little shearing force on the bolts at all from what I can see. Much like you did with your 08 leaf hangers the bolts are there to hold it together only not take load or force. *** On the top plate design for the traction block: Not any clear pics but if you could have the design so that the top plate can also be used as the bottom plate mount for any air bag would be fantastic. Make it flat and smooth to provide a good air bag seat. Would allow for stock height air bags to be used. Of course also the same multi-postion holes to allow for centering of the axle in the wheel well. Yes as you got your mind going into the design phase with that traction block it went from budget to actually costly more than the old setup. When you start adding up those itemized options it adds up quick LOL Of course I am not sayings its not worth it just how things change when you start trying to improve on it and make it have more uses. ** Did you ever have any issues in HP setups or larger tires with the old traction block bending or cracking at the lower traction bar ,mounting point? My idea is that while the two piece design of this new block is stronger I am not sure its really needed unless you have a reason to think the old design was an issue. With the way your blocks capture the ubolts there is no way they are going to spin unless the entire axle tube spins. SO unless the bar lower mount on the block itself was failing it may be a lot of extra steel and welding that is not needed and would also lower the cost as you already have it all done is the old design. Simply delete the top bar mount for this system or leave it so people could choose between the two different bar designs. [/QUOTE]
