Everything seems ok. These Beltechs didn't drop the rear as much as the Hotchkis leafs. I'm sitting at 17" from the center of the wheel to the fender flare (was at 15.75"). It may come down a little after it "settles" in, but it won't be anywhere near what it was before.
Kind of strange though, the LFP traction bars pretty much lined up perfectly when everything was back together and full weight was on the back. One side slid right in, the other was about a 1/16th off, but still "screwed" in.
I've got a set of Beltech shackles, I guess I'll have to spend another weekend to get it back to where it was before. Looking thru some old posts, it looks like they will need to be modified to use the holes other than the first position. Just out of curiosity, anyone know how much drop for each "hole position" on the shackles? I need to go another 1.25" to get it back to where it was before this whole debaucle.
