Sorry to hear about your back, take care of yourself and don't overdo it.

thanks waldo...
i did take the rear rubber snubbers off and ma using some 3/16 thick rubber now as bump stops.
the flip kit "U" bracket fit right up into the original leaf mount on the axle. worked perfect.
once i get the front end completed and dropped, i will drive it for a while and see if it ever does bottom out and hit the rear frame. i already have a c- notch kit, but will hold off unless i absolutely have to install it.

how did you say you dropped your front ? i know you have a 3 or 4 inch axle from Sid, and i think i remember you are running dropped front leafs also ?

im gonna pull 2 out and see where that put me in the front. i already have one out and the 3 inch axle.

im gonna have to wait probably a week before digging into the front because of my back, and even then i will have to limit myself. the past 2 weeks i would come home from work and mess with the rear for 2-3 hours each night.... cant do that much any more.
