Yall dont need to rep me.
I realized years ago that the little green squares have absolutely no value in the persons ability to answer a question. Youve got guys running around here with maxed out rep bars who couldnt find a 1/2" wrench in a snap-on catalog all because they hang out in the lets all hug and rep each other sections.

Sorry I have posted before this, I'm just lazy I guess. Got my leaf springs and shocks on the front about three weeks ago I guess. Thanks to all for the help. I have pictures of the broken leaf at home that I can post later. it looks like the broken leaf was just barely hanging on for quite a while, judging from the rust on the broken surface.

Somebody shimmed the driver side front shock out to make clearance for the steering shaft in their half-*** power steering conversion.
...so the shock sits at a bit of an angle. This doesn't look happy to me. Should I correct this angle?
That bolt is a little too close to the exhaust I think. I'll need to flip that for a little more clearance.
You can see here that this has been barely hanging on for some time.
$11.50 worth of scrap iron.

I don't think it has a body lift, other than what they do to factory "hiboys", but someone would have to tell me what to look for to know for sure. There's lift blocks at the rear axle but I figured that's how they came from the factory.
There's a bit more detail about the butchered PS conversion in this thread here. That is for sure a booger weld on the steering shaft. The steering box is mounted on the outside of the frame rail and they rolled up the inner fender to get the steering shaft through. There's no rag joint -- there's a u-joint up near the firewall and another at the end where it connects to the steering box.
