 Yup.
 
 I would have had pictures up tonight, but had a slight bit of trouble, with the *cough* missing...ummmm, USB cable for the camera.

				| Are you going to be setting the height near the same? What's the spring rate compared to your current setup? _________________

				| Right now it is down real low, seems to be doing fine there.  Spring rates are 750# front 175# rear.  I wouldn't mind a little stiffer, at some point I'm probably going to go to 800 or 825, and I want to put on the UE panhard brackets, if I do that, I'll probably be in the 300# rear range. |  |

				| Yeah, it does, not sure how much was the tires, and how much was the spring rates.  I still have a few minor kinks to work out, like the rear-bump stops, and such.  And I probably should get it aligned, once I find the final height setting. |  |

				| Are the shocks holding it up in those pictures? I thought you said it was lower than mine.   
 I gotta take a picture of my bumpstop for you. hehe

				| Those are bad angles to show it... 
 And I was going to chat with you about bump stops.  I think I have a solution for the rears, but was going to see what you did in the front.
