i could show you a picture of the shackle angle at full flex but its too disturbing haha. lets just say it's not pointing straight down or the back. once i can im getting relocators. and im thinking taking the hitch deal off will help the leafs. the shackle is rubbing against it.... oh what the hell i'll show the picture

I saw on one of the junk yard parts that you can use you could go get the main leaf out of a dodge ram van with the same spring width and it's longer giving you a better shackle angle. I'm not sure if it works but it probably will be a lot cheaper.

Looking good! interested to see the straight metal next to the crushed rockers lol, Sean you should Bed line your rockers behind the sliders and it would probably hide a bunch of it!

how much would you want for the motor on the side? I might want another project once mine is done... lol

Looks like your dropping out all the way, but a bad (vertical) shackle angle could be limit your up travel on the other side... hard to say from that pic. The hitch is probably more annoying then limiting. But I would remove it, but that's me lol
