Tested it out a little today.  the front shackles hit the frame because of the angle.  I guess i didn't tighren the rear driveline bolts when i did my clutch becasue they decided to all come loose and then shear off when i am going 40 mph on the highway.  It was a pretty scarey moment.  Starts with a little virbation.  then it gets bigger.  then a loud BANG.  Driveline falls and is sliding along the ground.  I slam on my breaks and pull off the highway.  Put on some bolts from the front driveline and i drive it home.  Not my week at all.

I couldn't go to PC.  My friend didn't get his tires in yet.  Today i added a leaf to my front suspension.  I added a chevy rear leaf out of a 64 inch pack.  Cut it down and put it unbetween the top 3 and bottom 3 leaves.  It sits level now and looks a lot better.  I also ordered 1 1/2 inch wheel spacers from Marlin Crawler.  The front tires do rub a little on the leaves springs at full turn.  the drivers side tire even rubs on the steering box at full compression and turned.  But it will all go away once i put the spacers on.   :biggthumpup:

I got my wheel spacers on and it flex's even better.  I can almost make it to the top of the ramp.

The first trip with the new front suspension and steering.  Way better flex.  Tires don't hit the leaf springs because of the wheel spacers.  They don't hit the fenders either.
