whats even better is in the institutions it under the 73-87 crew cabs ect it says after removing the top over load leaf spring install the new centering pin on the leaf spring pack because the new one is shorter.....(there more to it i just summed it up)

when i called them they told me that bolt is not part of that kit only for the 88 and up

so i ended up just threading the bolt up a ways and cutting the access off


i would have photos tonight but i forgot my camera at my shop the rear is almost done just need to install the cnotch i put the shock on finished tighting everything up and installed the sway bar with alil mods

?????????I do have one ? my shock mount on the pass side is roughly 2 inch smaller then the other side so will i be bottoming that shock out first when i was looking at it i thought i put on the wrong shock but both have the same part number and the ones for the front are a diff part number than the ones i put on the rear


???????? does anyone have the part number to the rear sway bar bushing Ive went to several auto parts store and no one can find them

I checked your build thread and there is no mention on how much you trimmed off of the front springs. How much did you trim off of the 3 in. drop springs and how much additional drop did you get? I'm running 3in. drop springs and my nitro drop shocks look like they only have about 2 inches of travel left, what's your setup look like?

I'm out at my shop on my phone..... do I need to take the bump stop off the upper or lower control arms?

I took off all the bump stops for more travel, the truck rides good.
