i actually had to rearch the leaves to get back to stock height where it is now...

once i get the weight back in the bed to get it back where i need it ill drop my rear shackle down where the top holes line up with the bottom ones and add some plate to support the bottom of the bracket below the frame

again thanx for the help.....

dropped off the radiator at a shop here in town...said he could fix it for $50-$55....by the time i went searching and bought one...would easily burn that up in gas.....

still have to finish putting the lights in the bumper and some plate for the bottom of my shackles and may end up doing some tube work around the rear shackle for some protection...

Looking good!! Sure did miss ya last weekend! We did some flexin on a downhill slope (that you would have loved) and Railman got to do some more body work from an rock outcropping! Come to think of it that was Railman's weekend habit Body work! Side of the cab, side of the bed, both taillight lenses, one tailight bulb and a radiator to boot!!! I'll give him this though, shrugged his shoulders, gave the classic Railman grin and kept right on going! Just need to get him to air down a little so he uses all his tires and quits stopping to run that winch out!!
I still say chop the pass. door different than the driver's and start a new Slo-VO fad!!!
