Thanks for the compliment and the info on the monroe website. That is exactly what I needed!

Thanks, Yes, I am dropping the body mounts but am unsure how much until I set the cab and sheet metal back on to do a test fit. (probably 1" if I had to guess)

Well, I got a little more done to my truck frame. I made my shock brackets and tacked them on. As soon as i find a TH 350 transmission I can figure my pinion angle and get everything welded up. I also got my wishbone welded up but still need to put a grease zerk on the slider. I also need some bump stops for the rear. Getting closer to being done(i think)
