      Hey Doug, I really think you'll be happier with the results if you work on a way to raise the back of the trans at least an inch or so. You've got the room now, no reason not to do it. Go until the top of the trans where the rubber bumper is is just off the floor.

      Lance,

      I did think that the trans was too low but the rubber bumpers on top are about a 1/16" away from hitting the trans tunnel. I remember from our conversations that this is where yours was at.

      I don't know why it is different but yes I agree that the trans does seem too low. If I raise it then I would need to do more cutting. We shall see.

      How are your body bushings? Have you ever replaced them? Wondering if the body is sitting lower on the frame than mine?
