It didn't hurt them then and it shouldn't hurt it now. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | You'll be fine. I helped a guy lower a '50 Chevy 2 door with 3' blocks, then later hydraulics, didn't have a problem at al with the torque tube, even running from full drop to full lift.

Seriously when did critical thinking and customer service go out the window? How about common sense and striving to go the extra mile? Idiots, surrounded by idiots it tell you.
