[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 433274, member: 19498"] I might be misunderstanding your post, but yes, the axle needs to be rotated up in the front where the D shaft is attached as you indicate. A closer pic of a spring pad would be good but it sounds like they may be in backwards. Also most of the shims are aluminum and can crack or fall apart if the U bolts were not tightened or just from use and flexing. I cant see any logic to have 2 different size shims but who knows what others may have done. Something else I see is what looks like some pretty skinny, er...crappy lookin T case spacers. Looks like a section of pipe maybe?? You also mentioned 1.5" of drop. That's plenty and most kits are for 1" of drop with either much larger OD spacers or 1"x 1.5" or so metal stock. I see the likes of Vendor X selling the metal ones for $160 which is insane when its $20 worth of metal that can be had at home depot, Ace or any metal supply yard. BTW, im gonna say you have a 2.5" lift kit in there based off the picture. [/QUOTE]
