Re: lowered shortbeds on stock wheels?
Thanks. For the rear, just remember you will need to trim your bed's cross support just above the new lowering shackles as they will stick up. This is a simple matter of cutting with an air grinder or even a dremel tool (with cutting blade). I hate to chop up such a "classic" truck but it's hidden from view. Make sure you cut the support areas wide enough to accomodate the entire length of the top shackle nuts & bolts. Otherwise, as the leaf spring flexes, the nuts & bolts will make contact with the bed. I know this from experience. Later, I'll post some additional pics of my new front suspension parts (on and off the truck) for reference. Currently using a friend's laptop. Good luck with your suspension drop.
