Thanks fast-ho-cars. I am going to check the springs. I'll make sure they are .020 and not in bad shape. I am then going to shim until i just barely have no preload. I'm just afraid that it might take like 12 to 15 shims per side. Also, as stated TWICE, the custom pins are hinge ping NOT king pins. How could they possibly hit on the rims? Am I missing something here or is my obnoxious state justified. Just kidding, It's Friday afternoon and I can't wait to get out of work and get home to work on the car. They are as much fun to work on as they are to drive. Well, not quite, but close.

thank you again,
John
