    Ill trade you a set of regular subframe bushings for those riser bushings. made from uhmw as well.

    I have zero intentions of dropping the subframe again soon unless something breaks and I need to remove it.

      I decided last weekend I will be going with air next winter, roads are just too crappy to be low static.

      Wheel bearing time - and giubo/CSB time!

              "Bolt-On" ... Not ... "Swap"

                Your subframe is lowered and your diff is lowered quite a bit. That is bad news bears for your U joints and driveline angle. 
                Even the lowered subframe is not great
                It's not a CV joint so it will throw some serious vibes if it is outside of its allowable range. 
                I still have the back half of a good shaft if you need it.

                  I think the current plan is to swap the CSB and Giubo onto the original driveshaft - and bring it in to be balanced. If it balances out good it'll go back in... If not - I'll have to address then.

                    If your U joints are shot you will still get some clunking back there, the joints shouldn't have any play.

                      No play and there shouldn't be a lot 'sticky' spots when you move the joint around.

                        Once removed - I couldn't find any "slop" in the u-joint at all. Moved freely and didn't have sticky spots.

                            Didn't get as much done this morning as I had hoped - but overall got stuff done! New rear bearings are in, rear axles are in - gonna eat some lunch then reassemble rear brakes and move to radiator swap I think.

                                      Not sure I'll be using that - might have a slight change of plans in mind for the intake manifold.... We'll see how the summer pans out.

                                        Shift linkage is rebuilt and back in.... And it was a monumental PITA. Thankfully it was worth the headache because the shifter feels fantastic.

                                        Electric fan is mounted and radiator mounting is done. Gotta figure out fan wiring and figure out what I'm gonna do for an upper rad hose.

                                        Hopefully tonight I can yank those rear diff spacers and remove the no longer needed accessory crank pulley. I'm assuming I should get shorter bolts to replace the existing ones - or add washers?!? Will have to figure out tonight.
