new measurements.

i got the nail out of my driverside front tire today and its no longer leaking:D

so i now have the following drop measurements, cause i think some people wanted to know.

FR: 28"
FL: 28.5"
RR: 28"
RL: 28"

thats from the fender lip to the ground with 275/60/15" tires.

looks like you may need some new cab mounts. but 1/2 an inch isnt bad

why would i need new cab mounts?

the 1/2" is from the springs.

eric a colapsed cab mount on one side could cause the body to lead a tad, last i checked the fender was part of the body!

i am also suprised at the numbers, sure leaned alot when we put those things on. glad it all settled out!

You should have less in the back if it's level. The fender well lip is lower, about 1.5" or so.
