Oh well. Shouldn't harm anything. But what do I know?

Alright guys just got inside from installing the 2 inch lift blocks I ordered, and guess what? Nice and level now. Took the "shim" that I made OUT from under the driver's side leaf spring pack, so it's just a 2 inch block on either side of the axle under the leaf springs. Put it all back together with new longer u-bolts and torqued to specs, took it for a test drive, and all is good.

Looks way better than it did when it was sagging in the rear. I have to go run into town but I'll try to get some new pictures up today.

Thanks for all the help/suggestions everyone.
