    Well, thanks to Bryant's suggestion, and my idea to roll the car back and forth a few feet in my garage, everything has settled and the A-arms are PERFECTLY level now, and I didn't need to cut anymore off the springs!!! :dance:

    man, my front suspension is all stock, now that I got new leaf springs shocks and bushings, I can feel how much the front end floats around....

    Wish I could afford such a fancy front end setup, VERY nice!

    Good for you!

    I would have mentioned that if I known your suspension had similar binding issues to stock.. but I never would have even guessed that the same issue woul occur with those types of a-arms.

    I thought they were much smoother with greater freedom of movement like some of the others that use bearings or greased bushings. Is that the way all R&C stuff is?.. or do they have other options available that you didn't take advantage of?

    A-arms are not perfectly level in this shot, because I just lifted the car and set it back down, and the wheels are stuck a touch in, forcing the A-arm down a touch.

    But the sway bar fits now!!!
