As much as I really dislike redo's...the rear end wasn't sitting right with me so I decided to change out the rear suspension with a new set of 4-leaf springs. Unfortunately, that didn't provide much of any change as the original leaf springs were really in excellent condition, so I also added a longer set of (4") rear shackles. This provided another inch of height to the rear so now I have a little more tire clearance. I also put the airlift bags back under the car for some added insurance. I don't want to risk having a tire hit the quarter panel should one of the Gabriel shocks fail.

Now, back to buttoning up the engine!
