Can you please post some pics of the leaf springs/axle? Which leafs did you take out? Does it bottom out a lot?

Also, it looks like you've got reverse wheels up front??? Wtf? Doesn't that really screw with the steering (bumpsteer) and clearance?

I would not take out the leafs like I did up front, I snatched em out o measure some things, and driving it like that sux , it bottoms out alot! and wheels up front were part of the measurements I wanted to take, 28 they rub at full lock so I plan on going with a narrow front end , maybe even an S-10 or Toyota front clip so I can tuck the fronts and still turn with no fouling.

I'l takes some pictures but, theres only a mono-leaf and 2 short helpers on top and a ghetto spacer/washer stack up, you'll see what I mean when I post them. But it works fro draggin' down the street , ha-ha

I tried backing out in the street and got high centered ! I took a minute to think about how cool that was, ha-ha, so I ended up just pulling it forward on the grass. I'm looking at viair 480c's for a back up this morning.

I'm glad I learned this lesson in my drive way!
HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!

haha glad it happened in your front yard. some backup compressors sound like a good idea!
