Installed the factory rear blocks (the 2" blocks were a week away), upgraded the u-bolts from 9/16 dia to 5/8 dia. The back is now 1" taller than the front, not bad I guess. The rear shocks are almost maxed out so time for 16" travel shocks. After some drive time the rear seal on the t case is weeping so I will change out that asap (no surprise after losing the rear DS the other day).

IDK what tcase you have, but some have a brass bushing behind (and in rare case attached to) that seal, make sure it isn't scuffed or damaged if it has one, because if that gets wacked out it can cause vibration, tcase cracking, or chain snapping.
