I've stayed out of this floater conversation because I just am not knowledgable on suspension or rear ends... So as long as you've thought thru the clearances -- which appears you have ('cause I certainly don't know anything about them)... then good!

You were here last year--pretty sure you saw my hands on experience---lol. Thank you again for the delivery of the parts---please feel free to have an extra taco on Cris. Let's install the parts that Saturday night for fun. What could be more fun than that.
