    See the dent in the frame in front of shackle? That is from the spring shoving the shackle into it, and bottoming out. If you don't get this corrected, it will ride as if you have no springs at all, especially when you get the weight on it. I also feel that once you set the motor, trans, body, etc on it, the axle will be touching the frame, or very close to it.
