ride height
driving in a ditch
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.
it is a hell of alot better on gravel roads and down the beach and what not.

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.
