I should of done this before the body went on. The bushings were shot and the leaf's, well you can see in the picture they were shot also. I am going back with 3 leaf instead of 2. The leaf's should be here tomorrow.

I 'm hoping the stance will be level now. The front set to low in the front and leaned to the drivers side a little.

Hope it turns out the way you want.... nothing like new suspenders to fix the ride. Getting new shocks too?
