What size is the tubing you're making the space block out of? 3" X ? X 3/8 ?

Well I thought I should use solid blocks, so yeah I think the inserts are a good idea. Even if they are overkill if they prevent a catastrophic failure they were well worth the work. Think about all the lift blocks you've seen for 1/2ton pickups they are usually solid or are built like a masonry...

That looks pretty good so far, for some reason I was thinking I needed to use solid blocks for the spacers and I was going to use 5/8 flat bar for the bottom plates, I'll probably still use 5/8 or 3/4 for the bottom but I like the square tubing idea for some reason I hadn't really considered it...

Hmm, be careful I think the nuts torque to like 375 ft·lb. I was gonna use 5/8 or 3/4 plate. Just sayin!!

What did you come up with for the bottom retaining plate? The plate the nuts tighten against?

I'm winging it too, I know what I want to end up with and I know I can fabricate anything I need but I'm still new to these trucks and still learning, I have done alot of research and spent lots money on parts and crap to customize my truck but I'm way behind the curve on these things.

"Springs" not axles sorry

Gotcha, the problem is that the mrap axles are wider.

Also the Mrap axles aren't as thick so I think we may need some 2" lift blocks made from solid plate to keep our trucks at factory height, not sure about that yet, even so I believe the newer springs having only a couple of leaves vs 11 leaves is going to ride amazing, I'm going to use a set on...

Ok so you are planning on using the wider Mrap springs, are you going to make your own bottom plate with shock mount? I am going to do the same thing and was curious what your plans are. The mrap kit is missing the plate that the ubolts go through to clamp the springs to the axle, the mrap axles...
