About 4 months after installing the 2.5 inch front and 1.5 inch rear block lift from Rough country, the Blocks broke nearly in half, twisting my rear axle causing all kinds of vibration! Replacing with old stuff tomorrow hopefully it didnt cause too much damage. I called rough country today and they pretty much said all theyd do is send me new blocks. They fed me some bs about how it may look twisted/tilted, but its nothing to worry about, "its really only about 3 degrees." Im going to try and post a pic, not sure if i know how, but you tell me if this looks like ONLY 3 degrees!

If you look closely, you can see where the block is off on one end with at least an inch gap!

All back to normal, vibrations gone, axle set right! Man, what an inch and a half difference makes.
 Hopefully I dont have any other problems and I can save for something a little more reliable! |

That sucks! This is another reason I went with custom springs. I'm not a big fan of lift blocks. Glad to see there wasn't any lasting damage.

glad I saw this before I ordered the kit!! Just curious - were you doing any off roading when this occured or is it from just normal street driving?
