also ensure the tires are the same size on each side, front and rear.
-tires same size each side, front and rear. can be staggered front to rear but should be the same size on each end of the truck
-tire pressures the same, per side, like above
-tire plys the same. some may have more or less plys in the make up of the tire so the same tire pressure equals a different amount of sidewall flex which equals a different amount of ride height
-check dimension from axle to frame, each corner
-check dimension from frame to floor, truck sitting on a level surface with nothing in the box and no rider.

really, if you're doing a make over, spend the bucks on a set of springs and get the base of the truck right before going further. makes sense to me. we all spend money on different stuff and in different ways with different priorities but, really, steering, suspension and brakes is what keeps us upright.
