Goodies! I'm hoping to be up at the track this year. A couple of my friends said they know you from your jeep, up at the track. Hope to see this bad boy in first person. Keep it up. Also what shop did you open? In Fairmont?

Not the most precision given the obvious flaws in accuracy. But my starting height, from ground and from center of axle

Measure the height from the ground to the roof drip rail, front and rear.

It's a split monoleaf. I'm really hoping covering all the basses leaves me with a perfect suspension

Did you have to cut off the spring perch and reweld it back on?
What are you doing with the front spring mounts?
