Damn that's gonna be sweet!
Looks like Monoleafs and Caltracs with 3-4" blocks. I'm using the same set up, QA1 shocks are located like yours, but I wanted to drop an additional 1" over the 1" I already have (using blocks) but Calvert Racing said not too...1" block is max.
I might do it anyway, see how it works...Right now the rear sticks like glue...I hate to screw it up.
I really like the bracing you did on the rear, these frames are pretty whippy. especially when you start cutting stuff off like spare tire carriers. I had a x brace made out of flat stock that I bolted to the top of the frame...From the shock mounts back.

I will run stock suspension classes.To change the pedal ratio move the pushrod down about an 1 1/2 and good to go. I have run these same lowing blocks on different cars with no problem.Mud and 4X4 guys run much bigger blocks with no problem.
The truck is black with purple cage and frame.
Is there any reason why you used the blocks, and not a set of lowered hangers? Not criticising, just asking

I don't follow on the hanger deal.I have cars that 60 in the 1.25 range with blocks.I like it simple.
just thought that maybe a 3 or 4 " block would be too much leverage against the mono leaf/cal-trac. My dakota's got adjustable rear hangers. Although thats like comparing apples to oranges again it wasn't meant as any criticism
