Noticed you're also a texas boy. Where are you at? I would recommend trying to meet up with some local 'yota owners and getting some first hand opinions and help. If you're down in the San Antonio area I'm always willing to lend a hand.

Looks to me in your first set of pictures that the cable is not free and rubbs the bottom load leaf. A little may be ok but eitherway, any touching is no good.

Nothing wrong with blocks if under 3" but you need to have ones designed for our truck. Notice yours moved? Also the best block are made out of cast iron or a billet metal.

Many truck manufacturors have been using blocks in trucks for years without any problems. But I agree with the others, recheck ride height and adjust. If this is your daily driver and an occasional off-road truck, I would recommend bringing it back to stock.

Im using 4crawlers BJ spacers and his rear shackles. Works good =)

I had to drop my front dif to keep the CV axles from binding but thats more due to my bent up IFS from a wreck.

Cheap, effective 1.5" suspension lift =)
