yeah, no I dont have one but will starting this saturday .... I still appreciate your input, so don't run away!!

Off to a new shop that specializes in frames, alignment and steering/suspension to pick their brains... we'll compare notes tomorrow -

before I go: I received photos showing my hiboy back in the 1980's. Same suspension, I recognize the shocks and shock mounts... Well, the car rode higher then, the leaf springs were more 'arched'... they seem to be more sagging (flat) now... Old age? When you look at these older photos you can see the same shocks had more travel (not so collapsed) then. Their angle was, however just as wrong as they are today - some things never change

Sounds to me like a new set of front leaf springs would be a good place to start and raising the front a hair and see how that changes everything else... baby steps, baby steps...
