when, not if, they crack they will fail catastrophically. where yo had two 8'' tall blocks will now be 1 inch tall
if you insist on using blocks at least turn them like a mason would use them
(hint) stack them like the 2 blocks behind your frame, not like all the blocks under your frame

No worries Ogre. This was pointed out on another forum as well and your point is valid and important. I was careful to center the jacks on the rib, but you are correct. The good news is this is an old picture and the bricks have been flipped, also, I was not adding the body while it was jacked, the jacking was only to get my references right for the body mounts and I was not getting under the frame. Still, no need to perpetuate a bad and unsafe exaple.
THANK YOU!!!
