So i like how it sits now. Got everything done, except i need to bleed the brakes and i need to get these shocks installed. Then tie up my parking brake cables cause apparently i cannot use them anymore.

So i believe the springs are out of a 2000'+ chevy that had two main leafs when i got it. So i added another leaf out of a 4wd chevy pack, another leaf from something else, and some whimpy overload. With all of that i needed a 2" block and 7" shackles to get that height.

well except for the pos bias ply swampers shaking it apart, but they are MUCH better than the lc coils in the back.

We did a slight camping/wheeling run last friday/saturday.
The chevys performed great!
I almost lost a shackle though, but got it taken of with some new bolts.
And i need to get some new shocks and remount them, i jerry rigged my old shocks from the coils and the mounting location caused them to bottom out a lot over higher speed bumps, so i just need to redesign the shock mounting and it should be good to go.
We didn't get nearly any pics but here are what we got.

Wanted to post these up, Made these from scratch for my rear shackle hangars. Pretty easy, took some scrap square tubing and left over tubing from my sliders and made them.

And just cause this isn't posted in my thread.

The Rubi trip is going next Friday (10 July )... are you sure you don't want to go. All you need is money for your gas and some hot dogs. Put your runner to the true test....lol.... you have done enough work to it.

Jeremy, the handling is a LOT better now. Before with those LC coils i could take turns around town and have the rear tires actually tuck into the fenders. Now it doesn't get close.
How is yours treating you?
