Maybe I’m just not seeing your vision, but I don’t see how you can get the rear ride height even remotely close to the front without biting the bullet and doing the necessary fabrication to drop everything down. Just by eyeballing it, it looks like you’ve got in the neighborhood of 20 inches or so of lift in the front compared to stock? Trying to get the rear down to that level without fabrication just doesn’t seem feasible to me. And If you want it to ride and track safely I really think you’re going to need to move the mounting points for all the rear links down to keep them reasonably in line with the rear axle. If you drop the axle that far and keep the existing mounting points for the rear trailing arms, you’re going to have them at some very extreme angles that could compromise performance and safety. Same thing for the rear driveshaft. I don’t know if will even extend that far stock, but if it does it will be at an extreme angle. I’m not trying to discourage you in any way. I think this project is awesome and really want to see a well put together SAS R50 hit the trails! I just think it is worth taking the extra time and really thinking this out and doing it right now that you’ve gotten this far.

Wondered what the hell that noise was. It sounded like a wiper motor or a fuel pump having a really bad day, but it didn't stop when I turned the truck off. Then I got out and realized the sound was actually coming from the from four or five lonely bloodhounds in the back of a Chevy pickup parked nearby.

Somewhere out near Enderby, BC

Update: I replaced all 68 LEDs 5mm Clear Red High Bright 2.1v/30mA was the final measurements At about 13.2v Source. Took about 2hrs. Passed the inspection. Thanks yall

Year: 1997 XE 4WDLift: OME MD Springs (after worn out factory springs, so I'm ~1.75-2")Wheels: Trail Master 15x8, 3.75" backspacingTires: Falken Wildpeak AT3W 31"x10.5"x15"Notes: 1) Rubbing when turning sharply, both forward and reverse. Will do some work with a heat gun in the next week or two to see if I can get rid of it. 2) Contrary to some people's experience, I cannot fit a spare 31" tire - it hits the panhard bar and the hitch. An extra 1/2" would probably do it, so perhaps if I swapped hitches it would work. *Edit: There seems to be some metal bracket that guides the spare. I don't see any purpose for it beyond that, so may try bending it back to see if I can get that 1/2"
