So a drunk totaled out my truck. I bought it back and have been working on it for a bit. The "Peoples peaceful democratic freedom loving society of Kaliforna" still hates it. That loud (Flowmasters) 454 and hips is very scary here in the San Francisco bay area to the little Prius or Tesla's.
Now working on my baby on a driveway with a 6% grade is difficult I have run into an issue. The frame is not damaged but both U-bolt on L/S were busted. I had to replace the main leaf on the spring pack. I replaced ALL of them annn basically rebuilt both packs. My issue is because the truck has been lowered and wedges were installed before I bought the truck in 2001 I cant find the angle of degree that the rear end should be? I know I'm something.

Still trying to show y'all but Computers and I well..... We don't do well together.
I had a body shop (After I found one that wasn't scared of a dually) replace the fender which is another horror story and its garbage. If you have a set oof fenders your in luck.
