Got my rear shocks I mocked in... Looks like I have plenty of interference clearance on compression... Their was a fear that the watts ascushion was going to mash the watts crossmember... Still want to drop it down a few turns but plenty of room now I think

That's certainly good news. Rear suspension is looking pretty, too.

I think it's still about 1 inch above ride hight but not too far off defiantly not done I literally just put these in Sunday ..

From the side the tire is level with the lip but I like it lower... Not out the woods until the car is loded with fuel on the ground or on scales

Perhaps I am be hopeful and optimistic but for now I am thinking positive

You have a lot more clearance on the driver's side than I do. Looking at the picture below, you can see that the mount for the upper Watt's rod on the driver's side is about 3-4" further out than on yours. That caused me some grief trying to clear the shock...

Yes looking at your pic my watts mount is right up against the end of the center section. Yours looks 3 to 4 inches out from center section end...

Digging into problem areas like around windows and finding no rot to worry about ... Sometimes it's the small things that make me happy
