I've got them installed, still some tuning to do, but now I've got to dig my test pit deeper to see how much flex I'm getting.

I goofed on the shackle angle on my first shot, and they reversed, but the springs still worked because it's between two springs. After moving the springs back 1.5" they work good now. Side to side feels real solid too, don't think it'll need a track bar. Right now I have them mounted with u-bolts, but I'm going to build a bracket that tucks tighter to the frame as the tires rub the u-bolts/bracket on stuff.
