     Tom,
     
     So you were able to get so close, huh?  Impressive!
     
     Could you post those 300 mile Scout measurements?
     
     Thanks!

Did you get new bushings for the frame end of the shackles?  I hear an air 
chisel works wonders... a propane torch and a hacksaw get the job done, but 
it's not fun.

Top of the axle tube to the frame, or to the bump stop *bracket*.  
     
I crawled under Glancy's 300mile Scout and took measurements to add to my 
'baseline"... along with measurements off his personal 4" Triangle Lifted 
SII.  Gotta get those out of my "bag o' stuff" and add it to my chart..
