The recent weather plus my work schedule kept me from the shop from Wednesday on. I should get back out there tonight or tomorrow.

I fully understand. No worries, whenever you get it, I am still a ways from that part of my build. Thanks again.

I worked late but managed to source the necessary hardware for completing the truck-arm spacers. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some 'quality time' @ the shop & finish welding the rear bag hats (and take a couple measurements

)....

Chip . . .... chip.... chip. A little here, a little there; progress is progress.

I finished up the rear bag 'hats' (well.... almost). I still need to add a stud that will align w/the top OE frame hole for the spring (it will be offset to accomodate the set-back on the rear end). I didn't have long enough bolts so I'll source them & get these wrapped up by this weekend.

The set-back worked out just right as the 'hat' just nudges the rear OE rivets that retain the reinforcement plate for the springs. Installed (ride) height for the bags is 6-6.5". When dumped, they should hit the internal bump-stop @ the same time the axle tube bottoms out on the frame c-notch....
