Thanks for all the help folks. It's untested as of yet, and not aligned, but I finally finished installing reconditioned arms and new Gowesty progressive zero lift springs. As a side bar, it's interesting to note how much higher the rear of vehicle is compared to front. My front springs must be worn out too.

I have more pics to add, but put up an album here:
