Customer Guides
Whether you want to raise your truck’s suspension to improve its towing performance or to simply give it a more rugged appearance, you will need a pair of good axle blocks. Aftermarket axle blocks help distribute weight evenly and provide that extra ground clearance needed for bigger tires, but this will only work if you use high quality blocks. There are many quality brands that offer aftermarket axle blocks in the market, and one of the most popular right now are those by MaxTrac. We installed a pair of MaxTrac axle blocks in our 2010 GM Silverado and tested it around the track to see if it can support its reputation or leave us hanging in the dust.
Features:
- Made of heavy duty cast iron
- Compatible with most truck models
- Heavy duty black powder coated finish
- Lifetime MaxTrac limited warranty
The good:
- Speedy installation with no major modifications required. We simply removed the U-bolts from our Silverado, slid the blocks under each leaf spring, and replaced the bolts.
- The blocks are taller than most of their counterparts in the market, so you’ll get more height for your money.
- Solid cast iron construction does away with issues commonly encountered in stacked axle blocks.
- No need to add shims to the pinion after installation.
- Works well with most leveling kits. We used the MaxTrac blocks with kits from other brands, and we saw no discernible issues.
The bad:
- The block may be longer than needed for some truck models, so you may need to saw off the excess length that juts out.
- Taperless design means that you may have to check and adjust the pinion angle after installation to avoid alignment problems.
- Does not include all the necessary hardware.
The bottom line:
If you are looking to improve your truck’s appearance and towing performance but you are in a tight budget, MaxTrac axle blocks are a good option to consider. We immediately saw the difference in rake and ground clearance from our Silverado when we drove it around the track, and the block held on just fine even when driving through rough terrain. You may need to make some adjustments in alignment, the pinion angle, and the angle headlight beam after installing the blocks, but we feel that it’s a fair trade-off for the low price.
