Re: 4.5/6

yes. i couldn't even get the nut to line up with the bolt. i ended up pulling the u bolts and plate back off and putting the shock on first with the bolt going the other way. Then redoing the plates and u bolts. i realize this could come back to bite me, if/when i have to change shocks but, the head of the bolt clears the plate.

Yeah I thought about doing that but im just going to order some shock extenders.Having to pull all apart to change shock is a little to much work.Truck looks good.What did you use up front 3"spindle 1.5" spring
