Wayne, I know you will have a couple of questions. In your package is my personal number so you can call me direct.

In the end I decided to pull the axle and fix it out of the car, which turned out to be a good thing. B&B had sent me some tubing and some other small pieces. I decided to use some suspension tabs I had laying around which I believe gave it a lot more strength. While it was out I also fixed the caliper brackets as the bottom holes were drilled wrong causing the lowed edge of the brake pads to hang over the rotor about a 1/4", and I fixed the caliper to bracket clearance.

The axle is upside down


The holes had to be welded up re-drilled and tapped.

Thanks for all the info Wayne. I'm looking at adjusting mine too but wanted to consider variable rate coils. Anyone have any experience with these? Would it be worth the time or effort?
