Its a good idea to tack weld and test the height with everything together before final welding. I took my cab and front fenders apart maybe four times before finally welding the four cab mounts and the radiator mount. Only takes a couple of screws to attach the front fenders, core support, and cab enough to test adjust. Also keep in mind you'll be putting some rubber supports under the cab. Mine added 3/4" to the height measurement.
