Had to remove the shackle brackets that were welded to the frame rails so the leaf spring slider brackets would fit in and go all the way back. I cut the brackets out and ground off the welds.

I had to remove the leaf spring shackles relocation brackets from the frame. Cut them out and ground the welds down. Did this so the leaf spring slider brackets would mount all the way back against the stock out board mounts.

This weekend I took down the passenger side rear 1/4 panel to bare metal, had less holes drilled in it but much thicker body filler then the drivers side also had a patch panel made in the rear lower section. I wanted to see if that can be replaced with a new piece and remove the piece that was made there. Has some open weld seams.
