zero rate/add a leaf?

[blk350on20s]

Hey guys. I need to center my axle. Is a zero rate block/add a leaf my only option? I need about 1.5" forward

an add a leaf won't move you forward ? or at least I haven't seen that style ? if I missed an option please school Me

I have the same issue with some new to me springs I bought

they were sagged and shifted the axle back 1.5 " when they were installed .. I was bummed a spring swap is a PITA



I have two choices ..get them re arched or use a block that has multiple holes on the top For the springs center pin to locate into

I had to use that block to recenter my axle

was it the PMF or another ??

PMF
It's a very well built kit. I used those style blocks and had him adapt his new traction bars for them. Below is a link w/ a few pics from it

I've used Offoad Design's Zero Rate with very good results.

I remember that thread .. I have talked to Him about the blocks without the trac bar mount ,, since I already have Fabtech bars and mounts ,, if I had to do it all over I would have went PMF all the way ,, and saved money LOL

What material are they made from ?

EDIT These short leaves are CNC machined solid steel

another option but a little pricey http://www.airbagit.com/product-p/x2-blo-offset-2.htm

I can see how the one I just posted would work

I am not seeing how the offset add a leaf/block works .I don't see a locating pin on the blocks to sit into the axle?

Ok now i didnt see that block yet. I like that better. The add a leaf kit installs by popping out your old center pin, put a bolt through one of the offset holes and through the center pin hole on your leaf and bolt together. Place the center pin in the center hole and bolt to add a leaf. Now your block is moved forward/backward
