The springs look great and so does that shackle angle. That should help firm up the rear a little more but it will be far from stiff. I know my springs settled about an inch so yours might drop a little too as you load and unload a couple times. What's up with that phone?

Agreed, thank you sir
My phone used to have a real nice camera, but has been dropped too many times and generally abused. I need to get a new one but have been putting it off so I can get more cruiser parts instead

Sitting on the springs now. I think I've gained some height, but it's hard to say, because I'm dumb and forgot to take a before measurement
I'm happy with the shackle angle, what say you Mud?
Angle looks great.
Johnny I was in Best Buy on Saturday and they have a sweet promotion for the iPhone 5c. $1. Plus tax on full amount of phone. Then for buying an iPhone they give you a $50 gift card. I got out of there with a phone and $15 case for $3.95. They weren't on the shelves, I had to ask for the 5c. Just sayin!

Looking good Johnny! Your phone photos remind me of the 60s era Polaroid photos. You never knew what color you were going to get

I am amazed at the quality of the photos and even the video a typical smart phone can produce. I take photos of many jobs as I go so I have visual reference later, delete them when the job is done.
I have a touch screen on the computer too (way cool!) and often enlarge photos on threads for better detail. I just got this computer about 4 months back and am still learning, my old system was 10 years old and could no longer keep up.

Great work! I love the stance of your 60, and that tailpipe looks like its ready to roll some coal. I think we need a new video

Well alright
I need to take a video to see if there is any axle wrap as well.

The go-pro isn't cheap, unless you can find one used, but I made a little magnetic mount out of what they call a "tripod mount" and a big magnet from harbor freight. Works great.

Nice flat springs and good shackle angle. Your rig must ride nice.

Thanks everyone She'll be even better with some shocks.
Here's a new video. Definitely have some wrap with the 63" springs, but it's clear that the wrap stops when it hits the overloads. I'm thinking (hoping) I won't need an anti-wrap bar. What do y'all think?

I didn't see anything weird. Pretty cool video. You just use a big magnet with a mount attached to it? Aren't there some dangers of erasing the data with a magnet? Or is that just me freaking out about nothing?
