Re: Project "Steppin Wolf" LS swap

Also got my new leaf springs and the flip kit and shocks I got from Rodney(RodsGreen10) installed.

Heres a shot of my old rednecked up leaf and ****tyfab drop shackle compared to the unmolested spring and shackle



Freshly painted flip kit parts


And heres the issue I had with the shock bolt hitting the flip kit plate


Ended up buying shorter bolts and putting them in backward



Everything bolted up



new issue, drivers side is sitting on the bumpstop but passenger side is actually riding about 3/4 inch higher. Still havent figured this one out yet.



I was actually planning to cut off the factory bumpstops and possibley notch the frame but I need to figure out why its sitting unlevel first. Then once I get it level I need to clearance my rear fenders for the 325/50-15 drag radials because it that bump stop wasnt there, the drivers side would be rubbing big time!

passenger side gap



drivers side gap..or lack of gap
