So, everything went together smoothly today. Still only had a couple hours to work on it, but got the axle hung and it sitting on its own weight. Ride height is going to be perfect IMO for 33s or 35s.
Shackle angle is around 30 degrees back, but that will change with a lighter V8 going in at the end of summer. Ideally I want it around 20 degrees. Tomorrow will be a big day since I will reassemble the axle, and hopefully finish the steering. Then it all comes back apart for new bushings, paint, etc. I also need to wire wheel the frame and clean it up.
