Putting the shocks on didn't add any lift. The center of my hubs are at about 15 3/4" above the floor and my pivots were at about 13 1/4". I figured if I turn the pipe hardware upside down, it would give about a 2". The problem is the spring mount bolt wasnt long enough, so I made this new spring retainer that my socket could fit into.
This looks kind of unstable, I might brace it later.
This gave about 2 1/4" more distance from the beam to the bottom of the spring, I don't really know how much lift its giving because the steering is so sensitive to toe adjustments now. Basically if the suspension moves down it toes in dramatically and vice versa, because the tires have so much more traction the toe is moving the suspension. Im getting it aligned tomorrow cuz my reconstruction inspection is next week and I have to have the alignment paper. If that dosent help though I might have to get a k-link.
