‘89 RCSB Adventures

Just went and measured, I have 28.75" in the rear and 29" in the front. Put a 4' level on it and it read pretty close to level lol. But I may be parked funny.

Im guessing the new springs still need more time to settle. I dunno lol.

I forgot to ask what size tires you are running. That would make a difference in measurements as well. Even how old and tires the leaf springs are. I have 235/65/17's. Basically stock diameter. If you are running different sizes front and back, that would affect the stance as well.

I'd get some miles racked up, measure again, and if you don't like it, deal with it then. I actually would go out and jump up and down on the front bumper with the boy, and we could actually see the difference. But not as much as driving.

Yeah I figure it needs to settle. Its not my daily so itll take a while im sure. I have 255/70r15's all the way around.

After almost having a disaster coming from
Sonic I decided I needed some cup holders. Printed some inserts and used some scrap wood and did some woodshop.

Well boo. Needed to roll my rear fenders a bit more and it started cracking out. So I did some investigative beating and sanding and it has body filler all in it. Guess I’ll be doing inner/outer patch.

Question: Since I need to roll my fenders, could I go ahead and just trim the lips back on the patch panels?

I would personally hammer the lips of the patch panels flat on the backside. That way there is more metal there to support the panel, keep it from flapping like an ******* in the wind.
After it was welded in, I would then put something like POR15 in the gap to keep it from rusting out in the future.

Ah nice good idea. Thats what I’ll do I think. Need to get off my butt and grab a bottle of shielding gas lol.
