superlift dual pin rear blocks??????? Yay or nay

Ordered my 4" superlift and when I unpacked everything I noticed the rear blocks look similar to the ones I had on my 96 ford. The new dodges have the dual pin leaves and the superlift block are just hollow and a large pin in the center.........wadafa? Have any pf you guys used these on the rear as I hav not taken my truck apart yet to install them? Did I get the right one or should the blocks have 2 small pin holes to locate on the spring?

Thanks for yer help,
Tom

Mine came with the hollow block as well, just the center pin/hole to locate it.

I dont like it.
I have a Carli minipack waiting to go on, just waiting for it to cool down before I tackle it...(Should give me an inch or so, and I can ditch the superlift block)
I still may need a 1" block, but ill get some 1" stock and drill some holes for 2 pins, I dont like the slack from the superlift blocks...

Yes.

The block just uses the large center pin/hole combo to locate the block, instead of the 2 pins that go thru the spring pack.

Ive had one rotate slightly, even though the Ubolts where as tight as possible.

Its easier to take the original overload springs and cut them down, making them a 1" blank...

You double them up?
I believe they are only 1/2"~ thick.
