Looks really good. Did you have to drop the tank to get the drivers side front hanger bolt out of the frame?

Thanks man. Yea that's the Chevy lean. Every Chevy I have ever owned didn't set perfectly level. I set mine on the ground and loosened then tightened everything back up. Not because of the lean but It had a pop sound. It was because I had the shackles too tight.

Just FYI, if you cut the tip of the bolt off you don't have to drop the fuel tank

I still don't see it. The bolt head is on the inside of the frame. You can get the nut off but there isn't anywhere to cut the bolt besides the very end of the bolt where the nut was. Then your in the same boat. Bolt in the frame without a way to get it out without lowering the tank some

Cut the nonthreaded portion of the bolt off. That gives enough clearance to pull the bolt out. I also reused the bolt and flipped it.

Ok, got the blocks put in, now it sits right. Rear is about 1" higher than front. Perfect rake. Thank goodness, it was looking pretty bad.
