Re: drop block, now what?
You are going to love sand dragging with that skyjacker kit , er wait I mean maybe try 3" blocks next :lol:
Did you tighten the leaf spring components super tight with the wheels off of the ground ? It is possible to bind the joints at the rubber bushings and make it want to hold itself up a little . One of the times that i r+r'd my front suspension I did that and it wouldn't settle down until i loosened the bolts a little .That may not be it , but it is an easy first option .Otherwise crank up the front some and go hit the dunes .

You also want to get a set of axle set back plates to center the wheels. It will also lower it another 3/8 of a inch. here is a link to them. http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Parts_S10-301.html

Re: drop block, now what?
Passenger side, looks about right but driver side is about an inch higer
Driver side
Think it must have something to do with torsion bar adjustment? Also set back plates are on now, they were not in before and the guy had left the stock spacer on, so basicaly he droped the block on top of the stock angled spacer thing, I removed the stock spacer thing and put the set back plates but the ride is still high specially on driver side

Re: drop block, now what?
Were the nuts on the bottom of the centering bolts cut off? The shock mount on the lower of the leaf will hit that nut protruding down from the leafs. It can add height to the bottom of the leaf. I clamped the leafs on either side of the centering bolt, cut off the bolt with a sawsall, and replaced the bolt with a carriage bolt with the flat on the bottom of the leaf. that way the bolt won't hit the lower shock plate. Can't remember what size but the nut on the top of the leaf is the same diameter size as the holes in the setback plate or the lowering block.:2cents:
