My Build Thread (year+) on 71 Jimmy 4x4

WSUP man happy monday to you as well.

I agree seems unsafe the way it is. I figured it would work temporarily while in build mode just moving around in my driveway and garage or at most around the block slow to test brakes and steering. I knew it would need fixed eventually.

I guess my next task is to find shorter studs or maybe use a grade 8 bolt just a hair shorter than the bottom out length.

How thick are your spring plates Burt? I thought these ones I got were plenty thick and heavy from a 4x4 shop. I measure 3/8" thick. Think they might not be beefy enough to hold up? I dont want to warp or break a new set of expensive springs.
