Do you need new leaf springs on a truck if you are going to add 5 inch blocks?

Dont take the cheap way out, blocks are bad as they cause axle wrap. Axle wrap happens when you apply tork to the wheels and the leaf springs want to bend in a s shape which causes lose of traction and broken axles. If you dont want to buy new leaf springs you should buy some droped hangers and shakles. Also you will need to get a longer drive shaft and a SYE transfer case kit or you will brake your U-juints in your drive shafts. This happened to my Jeep w/4'' lift kit with my' transfer case lowered 1''. Good luck!
You can use blocks on a old spring.You will also need new U bolts,longer brake lines,shocks and alot more .You will have to shim the axle so that your pinion angle will be correct.If not you will blow u-joints.Axle warp is a big problem with 5 inch blocks and more binding on u-joints. The best thing to do is buy a complete truck lift its cheaper faster and safer.

How thick a concrete wall would be needed to give the same insulating value as 3 and a half inches of fiberglass?
Poured concrete has an R value of about 0.08/inch. Fiberglass batt has an R value of about 3.14/inch (blown fiberglass wall insulation is about 3.2/inch). From these values we can calculate that the equivalent insulating thickness of concrete would be about 3.5x3.14/0.08 = 137.4 inches. Note that concrete blocks have a somewhat better insulating value due to the incorporated air pockets. A 4" concrete block has an R value of about 0.2/inch An 8" concrete block has an R value of about 0.15/inch A 12" concrete block has an R value of about 0.1/inch
