driving in a ditch

Image it does not travel that great but i got what i was after and thats a sierra that drives and rides a hell of alot better and feels heaps more stable offroad.

i made some new shock mounts that are the same shape as the strut mounts just longer so they sat out from the rear of the diff far enough.
