GySgtFrank will become famous soon enough
Since I'm stuck until a few more parts get here, I figured that I may as well post up a few of the pictures I referred to above.

This is the stock bump stop adapted to fit my top spring perch. Fit almost perfectly.

Had to space my caliper brackets another 1/2 inch to accommodate moving the discs back that amount, made up a spacer using 1/2 X 1 inch bar and modified the rear anti-moan brackets.

Used the stock spring seat from the chassis to form a more secure lower seat on the axle. It will also allow me to put an adjustable 1 inch bump stop on top. This way my bump stop will always follow any spring height adjustments I make. The original seat probably would have worked, but I was a little concerned with the short springs I am using and I needed bump stops anyway.

Also put in exhaust hangers and finished redoing the rear axle brake lines when I moved the T block.

Still waiting on axles, the other bump stops, and some limiting straps with clevis' and mounts. There is no bind left in the suspension so I need something to keep it from dropping too far and breaking the shocks.
