Looks purdy.
 
i'd say get a frame height measurement for each rig as well since it gets posted occasionally and exactly whats done i.e shackle reversal, spring flip, different springs
 
Here is my SOA with rear FJ55 springs on all four corners. All the rest is in my sig line except Poser rear disc brakes, extended brake lines, the amazing pittman arm, Redline moved the rear hangers back about 3 inches because of the longer springs to achieve better shackle angle, and whatnot.
 
Oops, here are the pics

Here is where I sit as of today. SOA, Shackle reversal, 60 springs in the rear, Ruff Stuff hangers, home made shackles.

Spring over on stock leaves, with slightly longer shackle up front and a really long shackle (probaly 3in over stock length) in the rear.

Cheers,

springs swapped
soa
homemade shackle reversal setup using oem parts

no cnt (no handling issues, got close to 100mph once...don't recommend doing that in a top heavy short wheelbase rig regardless of whether it has a cnt or not)
1 1/2'' shackles frenched in frame in front, was 2 1/2'' in rear, but went down to 1 1/2''

Nuclearlemon, I am loving your rig! well done.
 
When it's twisted up like that, how much difference is there in the shackle angles of the two sides? What length shackles? Pics if you have them.

Oops, here are the pics


Hey matchan420, good day!

Can you please post a close-up view (multiple shots will be much appreciated) of the passenger side installation? And also, please write down the materials you used. Did you cut and turn? I'm contemplating of re-doing my SOA conversion on my 40. Hope you can share your procedure when you did your conversion.

TIA.

Cheers!
