        Looks like you are using bolts instead of clevis pins to attach
        the rods to the eccentric fitting. The threads on the bolts will
        chew up the fitting and/or rods over time. Go to Home Depot and
        get the correct size clevis pins.<br clear="none">
        <br clear="none">
        I don't see any u-bolt threads exiting the nuts on the bottom of
        the shock absorber mounting plate. Based on the forces exerted
        on the spring/rear end housing by all that horsepower, make sure
        you have full engagement or more of the u-bolts through the
        nuts. Nylock nuts, or split washers, or Lock-Tite would be good
        also.<br clear="none">

        <div>OK, here are the pics.  I am embarrassed to say that I
          think I jumped the gun.  I realized after I looked at it
          again, that I had the car jacked up with the jacks on the
          front leaf springs attachment plates.  So, the axle was
          hanging down and only supported by the straps.  So, the axle
          was hanging down further than it would if riding on the
          springs/shocks.  So, I jacked it up under the rear axle
          housing and now there is clearance.  Not alot, but there is
          clearance.  Thanks for the quick replies.  I am moving
          forward, slowly, but surely.  </div>
