Is this basically stating you made a block lift out of wood...?

If so uh oh....

And if that IS what youre saying....if you drive it on the road (especially the road) i would consider taking them off for the safety of everyone else driving.....

He used pieces of old conveyor belt that he cut up and made spacer blocks. He just works at a sawmill.

?????????

Did you change to longer shocks? If not that could be one reason why it rides rough. Plus you have changed the angle of the control arms and that REALLY doesn't help with ride.
