It looks good! But I'm personally not a fan of blocks in either direction. Blocks can lead to axle wrap if you drive your truck hard and it hooks up. Check out this thread for a safer way to lower the back...

I agree with the above statement. Also what did you do for the front.

the picture was token before i put a 4 degree angle shim, i ran a drop block kit on a s10 whit lots of power for a few years and never had problems. thank you for the advice. For the front, i just cut the coil spring 2 in and changed the shocks, ride really great and no shimmy. But i will seriously think for the hangers and shackle and drop spindle for the front.
