I think that's a little scary. I don't think the blocks are a problem. I'm okay with blocks up to 1" or 2". Thing is, the blocks combined with the drop of the Correct Track system is really going to stress the shackle hangers. Those are the weak link IMO.
A good thing is that they provide spacer blocks to reinforce the legs of the shackle hangers, and they are good sized structural tubing. I watched the video of the system that Gary Bunzer hosted. They only showed a few seconds of installation detail, but the tech did not install the spacers. I knew that couldn't be right, so I checked the kit on the Lippert site and saw the spacers.
The alignment system is a nice feature. Hope it all works out well for you. I don't want to imply that it won't. Just throwing out some discussion. There are ways to reinforce the shackle hangers if you ever need to.
