Hey, I'm an architect too and its just second nature, spend too much time on job sites asking for corrections when the tradesman loose their levels....

Sound good . In my neck of the woods we call it an EWA. Extra work Authorization. But it will require a signature.

Re: Skyjacker lift question...

I now have the body and drive trane in my truck and it currently sits 3/4" lower on the drivers side, with the same lift as you have. So at some point I'll be trying different things to get it more level than it sits now.

Got er done, yep. 3/4" difference. I have figured out a solution, stay away from the truck with the tape measure!

Re: Skyjacker lift question...

"LOL" It bugs me the most when the truck is parked in the garage and the door is open. The door frame gives me something to eye-ball it to and makes it look worse...
Maybe it's my house that's off ??? "LOL"
