It was way slow to down load and I have a cable. I'll post more photos and close-ups when I can park it on level ground.

Are you using offset trailing arms?

The ebrake bracket is removed for now. I'll weld it back on this weekend.
I don't have offset arms but will check clearances with some hard slow speed cornering and post the results.
The front sits a little lower than shown on the photo. 550 lb coils are installed. I'll take more photos on flat ground and photos of the clearances.
I think the 7/8 rear sway bar has to go. Maybe it can be bent for more clearance. There is 1/2 clear right now.
I'll know more after I work on it this weekend.
Thanks for the positive comments
