The body mounted up smooth and square, great work man. Started on the rear links and kinda found my ride height, they may be a little short. Ohh and the hitch looks perfect height. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |

Had to extend the rear links about 2". The up and down travel was way to steep and sloppy, but the wheels base is perfect now. With the load of the trailer the truck sits just right. It's about a 15 lb trailer loaded. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |
