Re: Hood Issues

good point on the hood springs.
can you slot the holes possibly?? been awhile since I did an AD hood.
still, take a look at the cab to frame dimensions at all 4 corners. think of it like a bunch of boxes stacked on a table top with blocks under each box to space them off the table. if the blocks aren't the right height the boxes will not line up. so if, per chance, the rear cab mounts are less than adequate for height then the front of the cab would sit at the wrong angle and the rad support would need to be raised to accommodate the difference. make sense? if you raise the rad support then you will cause issues with the bumper fitment. if the cab is at the wrong angle to the frame due to sagged mounts then the box may look weird when it is installed. like joedoh says, the human eye can see a slight angle change. anyway, just a thought. don't think too much into it and you will figure it out.
