Any special reason why you added the extra leaf in the spring? I like the fact of the curved geometry with less friction contact to the rest. Will be very interesting to see how it perform.
Weight wise, how is the Chevy/tranny power train comparing with the P engine one?

I'm basically just gonna send it and see what happens lol. I had a Suzuki samurai with a spoa swap and unbalanced and crooked driveshafts (previous owner) and it definitely shook a lot, but it was just a toy, like the patrol will be. Once I get everything together and on the ground I will check angles and all that, and add shims if needed.
