Completed assm. You can see that after lowering the caliper that the brake pads are now fitting the rotor better and flush with the O.D.

Looks good, keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.
Anyone have a part # or know where to buy the press in studs for the front spring hangers for rear springs?

Breaks look real good. What's the size of your tires if you don't me asking.

Well my offset shackles & hangers arrived today, and my caltracs monoleafs are in process so hopefully by this time next week I can get back at it! Pumped up and ready to go now that hunting season is over!
OK guys need some advice. Getting ready to roll the car back out to start hanging sheet metal. my question is what do you use for referance spots to measure and level the car? I made my dolly with all four points of support adjustable for height. Do I use frame rails front and back to level???
