THANKS ALL! I am VERY happy with it.

McGaughy spindles and springs in the front adn coils in the rear. I cut a coil off the rear as well. There are three "dead" coils under load. I had to cut an extra quarter of a coil off the driver's side because of the gas tank weight. Still perfectly level right to left now.

Nope, pinion angle is still okay.
