    Hello again, rear spring update, making progress, will see the ride height when we fit the body!

    Looks good but maybe when you put it under a load your shackles will be angling straight down rather than at the desired 45 degree angle gong down the road. That should be an easy fix looking at your spring it might need shortened?

    Concur, but going to hold off doing g anything till we load it up then calculate the distance the spring will settle! I’m also thinking we may need some extra spring in the rear so we are not home yet but moving in the right direction! It gives me an added appreciation for trade skills that we are loosing !
