Looks like you left the factory rear blocks in. i could be wrong but that's what move logged like before i called and talked to bds. They told me the all spring lift is designed to be installed without blocks. Their isntruction are not that great. Anyways it looks great i have three same lift. After i pulled the rear blocks out it road so much better. The shocks where not made for that much lift.

Sorry about my earlier post it was with my cell phone. So I had a hard time with auto correct.
I would definetly take the blocks out. Just because the shocks are designed to be a 4". If you go with a 6" lift it calls for a different shock. Plus when I called and talked to BDS they said the 4" rear springs specs are set up for no blocks. So you basically added a 6" rear lift and 4" front. I do not have any driveline vibration. I did install dual front stabilizers with my bds kit. I do not know if that helped. Your drive line vib may go away after your take the blocks out. The Ujoint angle wont be as harsh. I read some posts about shimming the driveshaft angle, If your vib doesnt dissappear maybe worth a it to shim it. The good thing about removing the blocks is it will be a quick 20 minute job. Dont forget to retorque after a few hundred miles.
