Thanks for the compliments gentlemen. Here's where we are as of last night. Still a few more reenforcing plates to add, but we're getting pretty close. Other than the added expense and lost time, I'm actually rather happy we cut the stupid thing out now. As always, though, there are disappointments. It turns out that without the remote reserviors, the Ledas have to be mounted right side up. Fortunately, I had spent the extra $$$ to have mine blanked off so I could added them if I ever had the desire to. Likely I'll add them over the winter and invert the shocks at that time.
