trailor balls as drag blocks

hahahaha man when i read this i thought about my homie.i would get three but just use one thats all you will need.my homie has one and it throws sparks real good :biggrin:

is there a certain size i should go for?

not really,i used a couple different sizes and they all seem to spark the same to me.

it just depends on how easy of a show you wanna put on,the bigger the ball the easier the show,


i wouldnt go over 2 though..

i would just drag body if i had a truck trailer balls are cheesy

how bigs a 2? and i'm going for one hell of a show from under my hearse :biggrin:

Just go to a auto parts store and ask them for a 2" Trailer Ball. My buddy used to buy a shit load from Harbor Freight.
when they were on sale.

am i better off goin to harbor i got one about 20 mins away

i used them and they didn't last more that 1 min 30 sec on a hard drag so i think that there is a better way so i went out and bought a piece of 5/8 steel plate and welded it on the bottom of my engine crossmember and then cut a few smaller pieces and welded them on the bottomof the frame

i drag crossmember now and it makes it hard to steer, so i decided to do objects. one guy on here has the blocks. 25 bucks shipped for 2 sets. i forgot how big they are though

go to a wrecking yard and get a bunch, so you have replacements.
this would be the cheapest way.

i was thinking about that a little bit ago actually

i just went out and bought all the same ones all the time and tack welded the nut on the frame then i could easly change them oout on the side of the road if need be with a pipe wrench

when i get the money my ass is off to the junkard with a pipewrench

i also hear old leafsprings are good for dragging just chop them up and weld to lowest part of frame

thats not a bad idea

im up loading a video of a night out draggin on balls. they work decent and last a decent amount of time, not no 1 min :uh: more like a month
but ill be back with a video
they are set up just like the pic i made for you

cool thx mark
