Well I got the springs done and all the spring hardware to set up the new axle. The springs went in rather nicely and as suspected the spring pads on the axle are off a little by about 3/8". I mounted up the wheels and set it down on the ground to see how the new stance looks. Here are some pics.
I Like this one because it's OE hardware. smile

After all this I think the front springs and spindles should be a piece of cake. Doh!! Did I just say that outloud?? Here's to hoping anyway.

At least I'm looking forward to some 4.63 gears in the rear and a softer ride.
