Here's the deal,
In your 20's, you will do anything
In your 30's, most things aren't bad to do
In your 40's, you wonder why you do it

you should weld up some roll stop/bumpers to prevent any possible rolling on those blocks

would be cool to have it where you can put the jack under it and lift that way (incase you need more fat guy room like i do)
