Well thanks but apparently that wasn't me you were talking to it must have been CJ, he drives the car from time to time, I'm the older guy that was somewhere around there. I don't have any pics of the rear installed in the car but you are welcome to come over to the house and look at it anytime, I've got nothing to hide I'm not like that I'll tell/show you exactly what it's got on/in it.

We mounted mine on the rear end instead of the frame like you did, it's easier to adjust them that way.

Are you using a 10" spring? If so, how are they kept in place by the frame? The lower mount will take a coil-over spring as-is, but the top rubber mount is for a bigger spring (thus the tapered springs from the factory). This was my main reason behind mounting them to the body.
