They only work with leaf springs. I've had heaps of cars with blocks and never had a problem. They are the el-cheapo option. i.e. $30 for blocks or $150 to get your springs reset properly.

Yeah there only for leafs, but really just get the springs reset it will give a much better ride and as FourBarrel said its only about $150. My wagon leafs were reset, and the good thing about getting them reset is you can get them reset to any height you want where as blocks only come in certain heights, mine were reset 74mm lower.
