Todays progress

Day 2 of the rear lift went well.
As promised, a couple pics of the cleaned off axle and frame.

The axle sans perches


The front hanger gone and markings for the new hanger location.


Former shackle hanger location.


Steves experience with these has been that they end up butt low so we decided to mount the shackle hanger on a 2 inch block, fabbed up here...


...and with the shackle hanger in place and still smokin'.


In with the new...


Then we got a little busy with getting the springs hung and trial fitting the axle. Here is the test fit of the axle for the first time with full weight on it. From here we were able to fudge it around a bit to determine the best position for perches.


And the final stance (before settling) with a smiling Steve, done for the day.


And one last crappy, dark, and rainy shot.


Now there will be some fiddling with bumpstops and shock placement, but starting to near the end. Sadly, it's back to that job thing for me now.
