Dropped my SRT-10 1-1/2" today. Did it with alum. blocks and custom made u-bolts. Looks pretty good but I might try 2" also.

I had a company that manufactures u-bolts and other things make them for me. They are 3-1/2" ID by 10" lenght and from 9/16" material. I had them made a little long in case I want to try a 2" block. The factory u-bolts are 14mm I believe.9 seconds said:Tell me more about the custom bolts. I've been looking on-line for 4" U-bolts but no luck.
Thanks,

How soon were you planning on doing this????67SS509 said:My next modification will be changing the rear bumper cover and tail pipes to exit each side at the rear.
So U-bolts are sized by ID? I didn't know that. Makes sense. Thats how you buy muffler clamps. I was measuring from bolt center to bolt center.67SS509 said:They are 3-1/2" ID by 10" lenght and from 9/16" material.
Got a price on the bumper cover today and will order it tomorrow. Going to keep the original one for now and will modify the new one. It will probably take me 2-3 weeks in my spare time to do the cover and the tail pipes.HDVIPER said:How soon were you planning on doing this????
I'm curious. What will go snap? I've been thinking about lowering mine but I'll already be lowering it when I put on the 28" slicks. I don't want the nose to point in the air when drag racing. Would the snap be from U-joints, springs, the lowering block, etc.?MoparREVolution said:What did a 5,000 pound truck with Viper power say to the lowering blocks? ...... SNAP!!
steve what kind of rims did you get to work to run the slicks?9 seconds said:I'm curious. What will go snap?

The 2" blocks are easy to find but no one seems to make a 1-1/2" block. I had to cut a 2" block down to the 1-1/2". If I can find a 1-1/2" block supplier I'm going to see if there is enough interest by other SRT-10 owners to do maybe 10 kits and see if I can get the cost down to $80-90/kit.
