[quote=samc99us]Good point on the static vs. loaded value. For what it's worth, the Ronstan double block has a MWL of 550#'s and a breaking load of 1210#'s, almost double the shock blocks. But still, the shock blocks are aluminum so you can see failure. Done "right" you might consider Antal rings, http://www.apsltd.com/c-583-low-friction-rings-and-blocks.aspx, but the cheapest of those are $12 each and more importantly the splicing is tougher than what my plan is for the shock block.
I'll post photos when I'm done, and detailed line lengths. Trying to take better notes.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by samc99us on Aug 09, 2013 - 10:11 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
