I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you should mount shocks in double shear not single shear. Those top mounts for the front shocks will snap off. This is critical with heavy vehicles. Just a thought. Brackets are readily available pre-made.

Also: Does the rear spacer have a through bolt? You might check driveline angle and machine a couple of degrees of angle in the top spacer to keep the driveshaft angle correct.

Thanks

Thanks for your input, but all of the trucks from the factory came with a single shear set up. I have thought about this already and will upgrade later if I need to.

Yes the lift blocks in the rear do have a through bolt to hold them in place. The driveshaft angle and pinion angle is actually really good, because I did not drop the front of the rear spring.

I'm a member over at RC and those guys say that I will be fine.
