The rear shackle was pretty easy. I used the hole that was already in the rear frame rail. It needs be opened up to 1" so the tube will fit in, then weld it up.
The spare tire well was removed for a few reasons. First it was rusted pretty bad and the fuel tank strap were ready to rip out. Instead of replacing it I welded sheet metal over it and mounted my fuel cell over it.

This also made it easier to do the rear shackles and gave me room to mount my fuel pump and filter.
I mounted the battery kill switch in the rear bumper. I had to remove the bumper and un-bolt the bracket from it. Drill the 7/8" hole with a hole saw. Put the switch in and bolt the bracket back on. Then the bumper can go back on the car.
With the springs moved and the new tires mounted up to my currant 15X8.5" rims I bolted them up for the first time and yes they fit.
