got it rolling on it's own weight but it's not exactly level, i can lower it another inch at maximum before i run into clearance issues with that monster of an axle.

Looks like a shackle flip for the rear is in the plans now.Name:  P1010002.jpg

Shifter hole lined up so perfect it's like it was made to be in this truck, just will take a little bending on the shifter to make it perfect

I trust them more then jackstands and they are cheaper, it takes a whole hell load of weight to crush a brand new block.

Just read what you posted above, then your signature.

I know they are strong but they have a great ability to break with little warning....

I picked this thing up this week because the one i have is ready to fail anytime, has had a rebuild within the last few years. I will rebuild the other eventually and keep it as a spare.
