The U-joint issue completely coincidental, original joints with 130K. Just reared its ugly head right after driveshaft rebuild. I think it's factory height now, will have to adjust t-bars to make it level, but won't address that till I do the front suspension rebuild. I guess it only makes sense that the t-bars gave up a little height as they are original equipment, just didn't give up as much as the leaf springs. I also replace the shocks at the same time and sure improved the ride especially sense the rear end was rebounding off of the spring assist/bump stops.
