I do not have a problem with the picture and I did not check your math for the correct length, but in your narrative you state 4x4's. That is a little big for a measurement stick. 1x2's or 2x2's will easily work. I made my rears out of 2x4's only so they would be visually different than the pair I made for the front which are a different length of 2x2's.

Ken,
Good point!
There was a reason I said to make them out of 4 x 4's, however, for the life
of me I can't remember what it was. Damn CRS! Maybe someone will tell me
what it was.
I reckon if you put a big "F" on the fronts and "R" on the rears that'll
take care of getting them under the right slots.

So`s you can sit the frame on them with the air dumped to set front ride height.

Or you can cut them diagonally and use them for wheel chocks when you arn't measuring rear ride height.
