Default Lowering blocks from TJ Products

Anyone using these lowering blocks? I'm planning on lowering my 09 RKC when it comes, and saw these advertised online. They're not supposed to change the angle of the shocks, which sounds good. I see they're made from aluminum, and am wondering how they'll hold up. Still debating wheather to go the low profile shock route, or just lowering blocks. I've sent an email to them, but they haven't responded back yet. They retail for $139.00

i got progressive 412's in 11.5" (1.5" shorter) from my local bike shop for $210 out the door. in my experience it is better to just get the shocks and avoid the headache

Well, it sounds like shocks would be a better option then. Thanks

i am not sure about the 2009 model, your best bet would be to contact progressive for model fitment and specs on the new shocks if for some reason they are the same as 2006 i have 412-4011c on mine, they are 11.5 heavy duty
