Mostly road use...

[Taco-Maker TMMTX]

I know some say the rear lift blocks are bad due to spring wrap. Is this mainly during off-roading? Or road use too?
What are the vast opinions on this set-up:

Want to fit 33"s with 20" wheels
Thanks for any input.

Blocks cause axle wrap no matter what you are doing. If you can deal with it then run them.

I dont understand whats going on in the video.... Im not mechanically smart guys.

The axle is twisting up which upsets the driveline.

What does that do while you drive?

It's normal axle movement but adding a block makes it worse which leads to wheel hop and U joint failure if the axle wrap is severe enough.

So itd almost feel like hopping gears in manual?

 

[whippersnapper02]

Yes and when wheelspin occurs.
