thanks

they are just some fabricated universal shock mounts, can't remember where i got them from exactly.

the frame is level when sitting on the suspension side to side.

front to back not sure yet, seems pretty close to level.

the rear suspension is the front leaf hangers from the 86 k10 which hang lower than the '59 ones did which adds some lift, the the rear shackle flip (~4" lift) and 2.5" lift leaf springs. the rear can go up an inch on the shackle if needed. i feel like its more like 8-9" of lift overall in the rear.

the front is 4" jeep springs, and you get another about 4" when going from the stock drop axle to the straight live axle, plus i put shackles in that are a couple inches longer too. i haven't figured out how to get a sway bar to mount in there yet though...

was going to get tires this week, so i can set if down off the jack stands, but looks like we have a hurricane incoming now...
