Tried getting my muffler off but ended up rounding off two bolts pretty bad. I had a rounded off fastener set and it just made it worse. I'm gonna take it to the shop I work beside tomorrow to see if they can throw some heat on it and get it off.

After much deliberation.. I think I've decided to stick with my SUA setup, at least for now. I'm just too afraid it'll lift my rear end too much. I was parked at work yesterday on level surface and I really paid attention to my rake. It seems like more than I remember.

My current plan is to get replacement leafs online (likea dis one) and use only that with my revolver shackles. Hopefully that'll level me up. If not, I can always go back to my AALs and snag a leaf from there and add them to my current setup to get it where I like it. Opinions, thoughts, concerns?

You should go the route I'm going....3 link the rear with coilovers. I bought these brackets http://www.chassisunlimited.com/product/link-suspension-kits/3-link-suspension-kit-e.html Ill probably use 10-12" coilovers. not sure on which yet. I don't really want or need much more travel than what I have now but the ability to cheaply and easily adjust coils is mighty nice.

Wow that's not too bad! I've never really considered coilover in the rear. That may not be a bad idea in the future. I'd like to do a little research on that. I'll add that to the list ;)

Don't you need like 5" of lift to be level?

Did you get rid of that drivers tilt?

That's hopefully what the springs will alleviate.

And at the cost of those, you're half way to Alcans.

I'd say it's a fair 1.5-2" of rake. Roughly haha. But yeah, you're not wrong. I'm trying to work out a deal on some slightly used Alcans for 1" of lift. I think that'll be perfect.

So at 5" you'll still have rake? What are 1" lift alcans going to do for you? At that point you still need 4-5" on top of that, right?

Right now I just have the AAL (~2" lift) and the revolver shackles (~.5-1" lift) and I have about that rake. So I'm thinking if I run JUST those Alcans and the revolver shackles and I should be pretty good.

Man. You must be low in the front. I have 3 AAL and nearly 2" lift shackles and I still can't get my back end high enough.
