We're all back together. Rear came up quite a bit (didn't measure beforehand - they were uneven so they were getting changed out regardless). Right now rear is 19 - 19 1/2" from center of wheel to fender. Front with original springs is 18". Gonna wait for the back to settle tho before I decide if I want to do something with the front springs.

 

***Another potentially helpful tip***

I don't use a torque wrench a lot (like darn close to "not at all") but I definitely had to use it for torquing the U-bolts. They only call for 52 ft.lbs. and it's REAL easy to blow right by that if you go Arnold (also read a few accounts here on snapping U-bolts during assembly/disassembly).

BTW, I hope LocTite Blue works when it's 8 degrees out. It's not frozen in the tube so I would think so.

 

So long as it flows and didn't separate, the blue loctite should work fine, it just might extend the curing time in the super cold. It's supposed to get up to 40-ish today, so you should be good.

I put blue loctite on my leaf bolts and it's worked beautifully for the past 8 months or so.
