"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

Take some Vics!
Neither of those would help fix my problem. The springs are not lifting under compression! :hammerhead:
Drop hangers are unnessary (except maybe to correct my caster)

A 1- 11/2" drop hanger would move your spring that much further away from your pitman arm which would reduce the chance of contact.  It would also solve your death wobble problem.  the spring clamps would stop the contact between the spring and drag link during down travel

Ok, the spring hanger makes sense now.

We were going to use the Camero as a ramp, but Dave's wife wasn't keen on the idea. :greengrin:

you might not have to change the pitman arm once you get the drop hanger and if you do I think a 2wd one has less drop it looks good driving down the road though
