Thanks. Yeah hopefully...haha. Salt is the devil. My hardtop dolly has been great to move it around the garage. Muscling it out of the crate was a chore though. I managed to keep all my toes...Haha.

Here's a pic of it when it was just a little tyke before it was installed. Those must be Jesse's bumps

Well, it's about time
Just my opinion, but I would start with at least an inch less

Actually those bumps were what was on it when it arrived. I was going to swap my old ones over but decided not to as they looked to be the same. After measuring them they are 2.5" and my old ones were 3". I figure its a good starting point. We'll see what needs to get trimmed after flexing it out.

Yes it does. After taking this pic I started the install. All control arms are connected, the springs are in. Hoping to have it all buttoned up tomorrow and give it a test drive to see what if any caster adjustment needs to be done.

Aren’t you supposed to have min of 3” bump stops for a drag link flip?

I guess it is just an optical illusion from the angle of the picture. That, and the fresh paint.
Glad its going in good. Sounds like yhe hard part is over

Yeah I didnt think of that. However I have a set of 3" bumps if needed.

Well the PA44 is installed. I took it for a run around town last night and a 35 mile freeway drive to work this morning. So far it seems to be working great. Not sure what caster I ended up with but it seems to be driving pretty well and straight. I'll check it and maybe add a bit if possible. I also installed the new front progrips. Those things are awesome. Can't wait to see how they do after some miles are on them.

Yes they are. I didnt realize the additional ground clearance until I was looking at it all.
