i agree with speedbump that your rear suspension is binding with the differential pivot points
when your suspension moves up/down your actually changing the pinion angle and bending the springs
if you stay with the blocks on springs then you need to go to a torque bar to keep your blocks from tipping
or change the pivot points to match the front of the spring shackles
The front isn't on blocks. It's welded to the frame on the sides and also a thick bracket in the middle that attaches to a beam that's under the radiator.

Is the torque bar the one that attaches to the differential and the frame on one side?
If any could sketch out what I should do with the rear suspension that would be awesome. Will those shocks be able to stay where they are?
