the springs will twist as a raction to the torque applied to the axles. if you increase the distance between axle and spring, you greatly increase the moment arm of this force, and it greatly increase the amount of twist (wind-up) applied to the spring..
it's called wind up because the sring is.. wound up... and will suddenly release this stored force... causing tyre to slip..
is more commonly known as wheel hop or tramp = baad mmkay.
if you are just going to be cruising around, then blocks are okay.. if you are going to try to accelerate hard or thru corners.. blocks not so good.
each to their own... it's your beer
