I see you used some blocks in the back, too, right? Gonna take a lot of lift up front to match that ride-height goal! Looks cool, man.

Always had a block. I like the look but it needs attenrion to the front. More worried on the shocks.

No leaks on that one. Must be the rain pooled up on some other leakers oil.
