Looks nice. Are you relocating the parking brake cable tabs on the trailing arms?

yea I'm doing that this weekend. also i noticed the passenger side leaf spring is really close to the rim. i put new springs and shocks a year and its been sitting on jack stands the whole time. (didn't have the money at that time to start working on it) the rear looks like its higher.

I ruined my rear Konis by leaving it up on jack stands for over a year while redoing the suspension.

Maybe not. Pull them off and see if they seem normal. I think mine got deformed pistons from all of the weight.
