well got the springs and shackle flip in this weekend.......man were those old springs a bitch to get out:( ..........ive got a few bugs to work out like a nasty pinion angle and i have to move one hanger a bit more forward.Once i get that done and get back from maui i will build a cross member and inboard my shocks...............where is a good place to get diff shims??and the pinion angle isnt a bad as it looks in the pic..........

Nice, good progress. NSOR has shims... but I think only aluminum. I think you can get steel ones and tack em on...if you do get them next time you're over here I'll tack em on.

well went to sport trucks a pick up a 4 deg shim it was just a guess and it worked out pretty well, i will probally need a 6 deg to be perfict but i still have to get bigger shackles so when i get those in i will redo it , I picked up an angle finder yesterday so i will measure it up when im all done screwing around. I also finished up the gussets for the hangers not sure pretty but hey they work.....couple new pics on my yahoo site

Nice...aluminum shims? Is it a noticabley softer ride on the street?

That pic on the barrier is that totally flexed out? Just wondering if your shocks are limitting travel at all....even if they aren't that's a big improvement. Nice swap.
