Swapped in my Chevy leafs

drguitarum2005 · 07-20-2006, 06:10 PM

I spent almost 6 hours swapping in the Chevy leafs (mounts already welded, shackles already fabbed). It was 6 hours working alone and thanks to A) a but on the stock drivers side shackle that was stripped and caused me to run to Home Depot, buy a short sawzall blade, return and cut if off and B) the flipped u-bolts mushroomed when I pounded on them and took me forever to re-thread...oops!

Anyway, I havent driven it yet (im exhausted) but looking at it it looks kind of funny. the rear end is much higher than it was. what can I do to level this out? I already shortened the shackle and would rather keep the Chevys. What can I do to the front? (front suspension mods are in my sig)

EDIT: I have driven it a day now and gone over some big bumps that I always go over. The ride difference between the stock springs and the Chevys is night and day! I no longer bottom out on the local railroad tracks and everything is muuuch smoother. It also fixed my axle wrap woes.
