While you are under there a little trick is to solid mount your front diff mount.
Original is a rubber two piece and aftermarket is nurophrene.
Mine is a piece of aluminum stock made up but it's not hard to do if you copy what you have in there already.

What year is that from? Looks identical to mine, including rolled ends etc, apart from the spring clamps... Wondering if possibly the spring clamps were fitted to later models like my '79 where the standard spring was 2.5" wide but the gymkhana spring remained 2.25" wide? It's certainly possible that they're not original, but they looked to be?

Looks good! I had a poly one included in the full car Energy Suspension kit I bought, so I've fitted that for now. I considered modifying the crossmember to mount the diff higher while it was all out too, but decided to wait and see how I liked it (and where the axles sat when I decided on a ride height) before I get carried away with those changes.
