Lol....that's a club I don't wanna be part of!!!
I'll have to wait a while, mine is still up on ramps/blocks. I wanna get it on the road and get some kms/miles on her to see if the front settles like a few here told me it should.

It will settle a little as you drive, yes.

It was soooooooo close to getting out on the road but then it was close enough to winter I figured no sense in registering it. And then winter took it's sweet ass time getting here, and now it's here, so a few more months to wait.
But that's ok, waited almost 3 decades to drop it, what's a hundred days or so....lol.

I think it was @618 Syndicate who was trying to convince me to ditch the spacer as well.....he's a bad influence!!!!!

Yeah, that syndicate guy is the worst....

Thank you everyone. I will take a look this weekend and make sure I am level when measuring.
One other thing. I need to get a picture but the shackles that I bought did not come with bolts so I used factory. The problem is the bolt head rides against the hanger that the shackle is mounted to. That causes a squeaky sound. I am sure that isn't normal. I will get a picture.

Here are some pictures of the shackle bolt rubbing the hanger that is mounted to the frame. Both sides are like this. I could swap it with a stock shackle but then the rear would be even lower.

What about Airlift? Is that a bad idea? https://www.airliftcompany.com/shop/59106bt/

I run that setup with an onboard compressor on my static NBS daily. Works great.

I run that same kit on the suburban, and a IHC kit on my nnbs. Both are about the same. No issues.

Look at airlift. I am going to get the 59106BT. The BT is for BellTech and the frame mount aligns with the BellTech CNotch bolt holes. I just want a little lift in the rear so I might not even add a compressor.

My 89 has just air shocks in the rear with individual lines, they are the bottom license plate bolt holes, I do not need much air, just there for just incase at times.. Other pics are US 20in. mags with no air, It sat on the bump stops, other pics are way it sits today with Vision 5 spoke 18in. wheels, and air at 25 psi in rear. AIR NOT needed though. Drives AWESOME, handles like a go kart etc... To cruise and not ALL show only. Still need be careful in certain places with oil pan etc.., Rides beautiful !!!!

It all looks good. I am just looking for a way to elevate the rear about a half inch.
