    It's on the ground! Finished up the rear 4" block and new shocks install.. Now adjusting the torsions to match the ride height in the rear.

    test drive was a success! just need to put a little more tension in the passenger side torsion bar in the morning.. check and re-torque everything.. then off for an alignment.

    It handles and drives SOOOO much better. night and day difference. solid, stable, smooth. the front end actually works and doesnt feel sloppy. brakes work great. steering is responsive and solid. Love it.

    The rear has the 4" tapered blocks and new shocks for now.. I'll revisit the rear with new lowering leafs and a 1"-2" block.

    Also need to finish swapping the wheel studs in the rear. after I got one in to make sure, I stopped and focused on getting it driving again. I'll finish those up one of these weekends. My next priority is getting the carb rebuilt and professionally tuned. struggled idling and even cut out on me one time. granted it hasnt ran in like 2 months. lol

    I do need to order bumps asap tho... lol no issues tonight while driving.. and the suspension soaked up all the bumps now vs the sloppy bottoming out prior. But I still want to avoid metal to metal up front on the new lowers. Going with Energy Poly low pros Front/Rear.

    Oh, and it drives pretty damn straight! not too bad for my first full, at-home garage alignment. I'm actually impressed with myself.. lol set the caster and toe via tape measure and lots of measuring. lol

    for now.. its time to rip it!
