Re: Lowering by raising leaf spring mounts
Keith Seymore did this. You need to move the front and the rear up roughly the same amount. IIRC he moved it up one hole, had to cut the top off one of the brackets to clear the bed. i want to say there's a picture in his 'intor from and old assembly plant guy' thread (which is worth reading anyways).
You neeed new shocks, and not Gabriels or air shocks. Buy good ones, check out Summit and Rock Auto for nice gas charged ones.
Someone on here had replaced their bed with deck material. Saw it on this board within the last few days. Want to say there is one that was also Rhino Lined over top.
Search is your friend!
