Re: started with a bbc swap

not alot of progress....waiting on the right lca cups... the ones sent to me were too big (measured 5.62) apparently (i was told) they make 2 different size cups for these trucks (anybody else run into this issue?) I wont be recieving the 4.75 cups till next week..
so here is a short version of how i got to this point....I was doing a test fit last week while waiting on some parts and saw that the cup kinda rocked in the hole, so I called and told them and he said they would "seat" in....did not seem right to me...but I have never done air bags b4... When I went to assemble the front this week I did not like the fit or "non fit" and did not think they would "seat" in.... so I call them back and it took a two days to find out they were wrong (and I had to call them both days to finally get the answer) ........anyways....sorry about the rant......heres the lastest pics...

the cup fitment did not seem right to me.....
