one way to get the truck to ride height is to replace the shocks with a solid link. get the suspension at ride height by adjusting things until you get the lower control arms to sit level, side to side. that is where they were engineered to be when the vehicle is driving around. you may need to remove the springs to accomplish this. threaded rod works good for adjusting height.a modified turnbuckle may also work.
