What shocks are you using? I'm only seeing shocks for 7" springs on QA1's site. The 6" springs should give you quite a bit of ride height adjustability.

Anybody getting lots of rattling noise from having the bearings vs the poly mounts? I might consider the Ultra Ride us301 line instaed of the Proma Star ds301. Ultra Ride is only adjustable on re-bound, but has the better ride.

The poly mounts won't hold up to the weight overtime.

Be patient, It will be worth the wait!!!

I have to redo the driver side upper mount. I didnt realize the frame was so different side to side since I was doing most of my mock up on the passenger side. Its not a big deal though, I should have some uppers by the end of the week if everything goes right. I have 7 sets of lowers all finished and powdercoated sitting beside me. I was going to wait until I had some complete sets before I made a thread about it.

However mine is happily sitting on the wheels and all the torsion bar stuff is over in a pile. Just FYI, all the tbar stuff weighs about 70lbs, and my coilovers with brackets weigh 30 total.
