I finally got it back together! Rebuilt T arms, diff, half shafts, drive shaft, new leaf spring. The only problem is it sits like is has air shocks on it. I know it takes a while to settle (I hope), but how long, (it looks really bad right now). The leaf spring I got was a 9 leaf factory replacement from Muskegon Brake and the bolts that go from the T arm to the leaf spring were the same length. Thanks to all you guys for your help with this, without you I wouldn't have been able to pull this off!

It will settle in a while ,if it does'nt go down to where you want it you will have to buy longer bolts,Dont drive it very much when it's too high ,you could eat up those new u-joints too much angle between differential and spindles ,they should be almost level you dont want to tear them out again for a while ,unless you really enjoyed it

Your going to have to use longer bolts to drop the rear.

Thanks Guys! By the way, Van Steel's video was extremely helpful in the rebuild, well worth the money!

Thanks Matt. Also note that when you use the longer spring bolt, it's a good idea to drill a small hole through them for a cotter pin and cut the bolt shorter once you get your desidered ride height. Cut below the nut.
