It looked better but I’m also kinda worried if I ever haul something heavy or flex it out off road, that it’s going to put the rear tires pretty close to the back of the wheel opening, possibly rubbing. So back to the factory position it went. I may have to look at getting the rear driveshaft lengthened but we’ll see how it does once I get some miles on it, the rear should be around 5” with the zero rates I added to them. I’ve always noticed the front 60’s tend to pick the front up an inch or so, but I don’t think I got as much out of it as I thought I was going too, that or the front springs didn’t quite hit the 4” mark.
thinking I may add zero rates to the front as well as it does have some rake that I’m not totally crazy about.

Looking good. Maybe delete the zero rate blocks from the rear instead? Always disliked blocks on the front, even if connected to the leafs. They increase wrap and hop under power and add negative caster to the front axle under heavy braking.
