What Are These, Dodge Charger Related?

[71SandbugCharger]

These came with my ‘71 Dodge Charger. They are loose and not in the car, so anyone know what they are? Marked 828 and front.

Thanks!

Hello
I have a 71 Super Bee in process of full restoration.

I did not come across anything looking like these items during the teardown.

Sincerely,
Jim

Really? Nobody has ever seen a lift/lowering block before?

Ya those would of been a better choice for raising the back end of a car instead of long shackles

Or lowering if the ride height was to high. Problem with those is. The taller the block , it could change the angle of the driveshaft if not careful. Causing vibration or chew up bearings in the u joint caps

Nope, the axle is on the wrong side of the springs for that. Those are Lowering Blocks. They can't raise it.

They can on a truck.

Ya no kidding. The springs are on the other side of the axle.

Look like they're from a mid 2000s chev 1500
