Cut 4 - -Make these two cuts, and lift the rear rails until level. Check the height to the floor. If the height is back to O.E., fit in the 1 5/8" spacers and tack in. If not, Adjust the # 3, # 4 spacers. Shorter spacers lift the rear, longer spacers lower it. The rear section should be level and at the stock height when done. Take your time....... this effects the bed, fit later. Fab fishplates (fit inside) First, I use 1/2" holes to plug weld. Then, fab and fit in side inserts. When everything is tacked, check all levels again, then weld up
