it's pretty obvious that these lift springs were build 100% assuming the customer would also get an SYE. they even had a pre-installed degree shim and lined up the drive shaft right where it needed to be. game on, cuz she runs nice n smooth now! and don't forget to always properly fixture your temporarily-permanent weldments.

the front i didn't get any pictures of, but i got the adjustable UCAs installed. well, one UCA. it's a nice proper 3-link with panhard now. no clue why the factory designed in bind, but things move so much nicer missing the pass UCA. has about 4-4.5* caster, while the drive shaft is still about 3deg off from the pinion. not perfection, but drives great so good enough.
