Brake line might be holding it back but I can extend them.
no.

i didnt see if you changed your shocks, if you didnt, theres your problem.

b-pack=stiff and usually lots of arch. arch works against you. to get the best flex you need as flat of a spring as possible. so yes, while blocks are bad and a generally geniusly flawed idea, if all you are concerned with is getting the most flex possible, i would say remove the add-a-leaf and go with blocks.

Before all else I would make sure your shocks and brake lines as well as parking break cables are all long enough
