i heard of a kid at my old high school that did his blocks wrong in his ram 2500 and it fell off the axel.. idiot.. but thats all that worrys me of blocks. but ok tell me the difference in explorer stuff. does it just bolt in? cuz thats how it sounds to me. can i just take all the rnning gear (axels, springs) off an exploder and bolt it to my b2?
