Here's an update.  Some pics of what I'm gonna have to cut and grind off.  Everything with an "X" will be gone.  This is to make room for the heim joint shackle to move.  And I threw in a pic of the truck after the second try at flex.  It did better than the first attempt but not as good as I wanted.  I was expecting too much from 1/2 elliptical springs with alot of arch.  Now it's going all the way with a no expense spared 4-link and 1/4 elliptical springs.  One of the reasons I didn't go coil overs is because I got alot of money sittin in the Bilstein 7100 Remote Reservoir 14 inch full body shocks.  Time for a beer!
