    Painted wheels and added Adjustable shackles at 1".

    The paint is called Carbon Mist. It was the first time I used the weird handle that some Rustoleum cans have. It made painting wheels easy, especially getting an even coat.

    The shackles added roughly 1"
    Gave it a nice stance.

    Still have some tweaking to do before wheeling. In this pic I'm on a 3ft bank and am at full compression (limited by the overload) and almost full droop. The driver's shock still has 5" of uptravel to go and the pass shock has 2" of downtravel left. Probably going to move the shocks to the outer hole on the crossmember.

    Was for gear head. Why move the shocks. So he has unused travel. That's his springs and shackles fault.

    Is it ok to drive a day or two with the passenger side leaf spring touching the tail pipe?

    After putting longer shackles, now the springs sit 1" lower, therefore the bottom leaf barely rests on the tail pipe.

    I ask because, since the tail pipe gets hot, I'm not sure if it's ok if that heat is in contact with the edge of the bottom leaf?

    Like I said, it will only be 2 days at most, hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow. If I had a blade for my drill I would have done it.
