At Last!
Well, I finally got around to finishing the install of the suspension.
Before

After

Granted, it is hard to tell a difference, but it is noticeable when standing beside it. Also, once the engine and all other accessories are in, it will bring it a little lower.
Possible Problems
The rear tires come dangerously close to rubbing the bed of the truck on the inside walls of the tires.
The front brakes are preventing the truck from moving. I consulted the Dyalopedia and the nut holding the discs may be too tight. So I will have to try and loosen that to see if thats the problem.
What's Next
Next up... Brake lines and Fuel lines.
Then its engine and transmission time!!!
