RE: rear suspension

[Jim Jablonski <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It sounds like the new front hangers changed the horizontal pitch of the 
front spring eyes.  Are you installing the relocation kit?  If you are, 
the way to make sure the front sping eye is positioned correctly would 
be to reinstall the factory front hanger, then align the hole in the 
relocation box by running a bolt or rod though the old front hanger and 
marking it in the box.

I recieved a ton of help from Earl Helm on this, and would be glad to 
forward to you the notes I consolidated during many of our "coachable 
moments."
