ok thanks
I was curious of the front to back height measurement... I am looking for the differential front to back. If the front is higher or lower than the rear etc. The 1/2" of drop after the motor was installed is great. I am hoping to try and get my motor in tonight.

Also I think I am going to wait on the shocks till the truck is almost completed before I exchange them. I am pretty sure that I will exchange them for 61261. if the rear settles 1' I will be in the middle of the stroke.

David have you measured the wheel base after installing the ORD flip kit? after looking at my bump stop brackets I would say that my rear axle is forward too much. I am going to measure tonight!
