Back On Her Feet

The suspension rebuild has been complete for about two weeks.  After driving around the neighborhood a few times, seems OK.  Here she is:
The new front shocks are at full extension when there is no weight in the vehicle, presumably because of the extra lift from the tow shackles.
She still leans to the right, but after many measurements of the frame it's straight as far as I can tell.  I've heard the spacers between the body and the frame on early CJ5s were wood (!) so it could be that the spacers are rotted out on one side and not the other.
