Just remember - it's a one off prototype and is probably in the crusher by now. It's not sagging because it was never loaded down with gear and wheeled 50-100 times.
The sagging springs is directly related to fatigue. (I'm talking about OEM, not Rancho....I don't use Rancho Products).
Do you have a welder (preferably 220V and NOT from Harbor Freight!) and some decent welding skills? SOA isn't a bolt-on mod.
Buying my stuff from ruff stuff! John Bull and my last run in frazier park has pushed me to do it. The deavers hang too low and are an issue, the spring hangers are a bitch. So I have a plan! Next saturday and sunday the 4th and 5th of august I have no work, no plans just freedom to hangout in the garage and get this done. I am scared, I have never done surgery before on squeaky but I am sure once I chop off the first piece I will be happy so I am gonna start off by making sure I have ordered the correct things. I am getting Ubolts, spring plates, shock mounts, hangers, and perches.
Can bebe or 4speed confirm that I have the right sizes for everything? I did my own research but wanna double check so I dont have the wrong stuff

also not sure on what U bolts I need...
I can probably reuse mine...Deaver made me a set...Hopefully I didnt bend them on the rocks like I did with the last set! :roll:
Kinda nervous but wish me luck! I am not too concerned about weld strength I am more concerned with overall ride quality and finish but at the end of the day how can you know and get better at this stuff without trying!
