Re: Make it handle
Looks Good. One thing to check is the bar at R.H. Those coil-overs should be appx 14 1/4" at R.H. (appx 1/2 of the shock compressed.) Here's the quick way. Right now the shock is full extended, with 5" stroke. Measure the distance from the top of the axle housing tube to the bottom of the frame rail (notch) just above the housing tube. - looks to be around 6 1/2" or so. Subtract 2 1/2" from that measurement (1/2 of the shock travel) Cut two pieces of 2x4 to that length. Place a jack under the axle housing/gear set and remove the coil-overs. Put the 2x4's on top of the housing tube and use the jack to lift the housing until the 2x4's hit the bottom of the frame rail. Now the housing is very close to Ride Height. Make sure that the bar is level in this position.
But the looks of it, rear R.C. height will be around 8". (total guess, but, 27" tire = 13 1/2" to the axle center from the ground. Bar looks to be about 4" below the axle C.L. subtract another 1/2" for tire squat, and your at about 8") Your front R.C. will be around 4" to 5", so this is fine.
