Well, I finally got the rear end done. Someone asked how high the finished hight was. It came out exactly 27 inches on both sides. This is considered perfect but everyone says it will drop after a number of miles (not good for me). The ride is much better especially cornering. No more clunk noise in the rear on bumps.
Thanks for everyones advise and for your putting up with my many questions.
