The special washer on the leaf spring bolt helps to center the leaf spring in the mount as well as to help the suspension articulate during driving conditions.

I know this is an old video but I had the same issue with mounting the shocks. What I found was the instruction did not say to use the small spacer on the top and it said to use the 1 1/2 inch spacer for the bottom. I measured my bigger spacer that they sent and they are 2 1/2 inches. If I leave the spacer off the top and measure to the shock on the bottom it’s exactly 1 1/2 inches. I cut the bushing down to 1 1/2 and everything lines up.

I’ll have to measure the bottom spacer and see how long it is.

The lace lift is definitely a game changer. Good luck on your build.

You're lucky the car didn't fall on you when you had the rear end on the transmission stand and you were under the car messing with the rear end not being stable and it hit the car more than four times I think you need to be more careful you should have gotten the cherry picker because if the car want to fall on you if the car would have fall on you it would have made more sense then to put the cherry picker together I love what you're doing but be safe I watched all your videos

Unless you have heim joint shocks I would think that’s going to work. I have a 74 nova and ran into the same issue with a helix four link coil over suspension and had to fabricate

I’ll probably upgrade to different shocks once I get it running and driving.

So a few things you can shorten the shims on the shocks and add a 1/2" shim on panhard bar watch when you get pressure on rear suspension its gonna change the rearend angle

Right now I have the shock mounts level with the weight of the car on them. I’ll see what kind of driveline angle I have once I get the transmission mounted.

I would put the tire in the right place in the fender well then adjust accordingly.

I believe it’s in the stock location. Seems like I measured all that and it matched up.

That being a ford rear end you really need the measurements from where the driveshaft is going to be because ford 9" is off set from the centerline

The Chevys are offset to the passenger side 1” from factory so worked out pretty good.

I’m changing the shock mounts where they move forward and backward not side to side

I don’t think there’s going to be enough suspension travel to get them in a bind. I could be wrong though.

How is your shock movement goin to allow you to move forward and back when your trying to adjust your 4 link? It looks like your shocks will get into a bind with any forward or rear movement

Hopefully only have to adjust it once.

Seems like I remember measuring it and it stayed the same.

When you put the engine and transmission in, the front will drop.
