With almost 100 miles on the odometer only two issues are standing out. There is very slow drip coming from between the transmission and the overdrive. And there is a driveline vibration that starts at about 50 mph. I think I'll need to get the truck loaded down to get final proper pinion angle. The gear oil leak can wait for awhile.

Another thing on the list is to measure for rear shock absorbers. To get the truck to sit at what should be close to normal ride height, I set my bent, warped and twisted boards onto the bed and set my current camper on the bed to compress the suspension and then measure for shock static stroke. This camper weighs about 1000 lbs. as shown. The suspension compressed an inch and a quarter over the tires. The truck will level out even more when fully loaded out for a trip. So it looks like I'll need a shock that sits at 24-25 inches, 29-30 inches extended and 17-19 compressed. I've got my eye on a couple of different Bilsteins that should work.

Lastly, I measured for more storage boxes to go on the top left and right sides of the bed.
