Re: Mechanical curiosity?

Thanks guys. The bed, cab, engine, hood, are all on right now. engine is complete, no fluids yet. (its all coming back apart for paint later, its just in mock up stage. There is no wood in the bed, wiring, or interior, or front wheel wells.
The shorty shocks from cpp is what I'm using.
The one piece drive shaft is new, haven't even been used yet. If my measurements were done right, I should be good to go on that.
As far as the front springs go, I was pretty sure I got the end of the spring in its little pocket, but I'll check again.
It must not be anything to terrible if I got the same measurements front and back.
I even read up on search to see if I bought a 4x4 frame, which I thought would defeat the lowering gear. After reading all those threads on search, I now know I have a 1/2 ton frame. The cab mount bushings are the same height as the old ones, so who knows.
Personally, I'm beginning to think that the anti-lowering fairy snuck into my garage and did her evil deeds to my truck. I could be off on that though.
