Is that the Pollux Orange? Wife is trying to sway me away from the biege I had planned. This is the runner up...

Hope settling helps, that seems to be more lean than most report with OME springs and as you already mentioned it’s to the opposite side. If it settles down to about an inch you could put the leveling block on the drivers side rear spring and that should get you pretty close.
Agreed. Need to get it off-road a bit more and try to articulate it a bit more before I cry foul. As it stands the lift only has about 350 miles on it - 300ish round trip to Gore, VA and back and about 40mi offroad over the weekend. Since I melted the battery down on the same trip, and I move slower than molasses, it has been sitting in the garage ever since while I fabricate a new battery tray. I definitely over-tightened one spring pin enough that it ate a bushing in VA but I didn't "feel" anything to indicate it's entirely bound up. Until I get everything corrected and dialed back in I'm willing to admit I may have done something to induce it.
I might be crazy but it looked a little less "leaned" when I stared at it the other day. Probably wishful thinking but it could be settling as it sits.
Crooked or not, I'm dying to get it back on the road - but they salted the roads here, so it may be a while before it leaves the garage again. Not a lot of paint left on it to keep the rust from spreading.
LOVE the sound of an SBC doing what it does best. Got Numbers?

Went on another beach cruise
Nice torque curve. What cam?
Its a Comp Cams Xtreme Energy Cam. 08-503-8. The engine was designed for just producing torque.
Interesting. It's more aggressive than I would have thought. I'm a Lunati fan, myself but I see good results from Comp. Cheers!
It's somewhat aggressive. However, it's just slightly lopey on idle which I really like.
Added a Factor 55 Ultra Hook Winch Hook with Shackle Mount, Warn 102642 Stealth Series Winch Cover, and a pair of Crosby 3/4″ Shackles to the shiny truck. Started spot welding the wheel well cover and sides onto the project truck.
No that’s just a sealer since it was blasted and has to sit for a couple months before my paint guy and the frame are ready for it. Was planning to go with cadet blue but have been eyeing Heath gray recently.

Santa used the Iron Yak to pick up Mrs. Santa a new paddle board.

Your 40 looks amazing
Wish I would have bought solid boards instead of inflatables. Mrs. Claus is going to love that present.

@thebigredrocker ....I have never been on an inflatable but I know lots of people who have them. Often boat owners who are looking to save space on board. How has your experience been with them?
Loving that!
*My Christmas came early from Mrs. Claus....... I’ve gotten too heavy for the Naish, plus the new board boasts a setup that I can try fly fishing from!

Yeah, the space savings is nice. Purchased 5 years ago, no issues so far. They probably get 3 weeks of daily lake use per year. Got to paddle a solid board in Tahoe and felt it was more stable.
@imyahucklbrry paddle boards and snow boots. Best of both worlds. Merry Christmas
