The third photo up is theoretical ride height. I believe i measured the rocker at around 6 or 7" off the ground, so it should be plenty high. However, i havent committed to anything but the extended shock ends. I mocked up the theoretical ride height and stuffed height for each extended eye (1" longer than stock or 2" longer). I think the 1" extended eye is going to be just about right. It leaves the control arms parallel with the ground and in line with the subframe at ride height, which is ideal. The 2" eye was too tall for my liking, both ride height and stuffed.
I have not nailed down the position in the wheel well. It is currently clamped in place. I want to get it together a bit more and make a final decision after considering all factors, or most haha.

Thank you!! This cab is actually in really nice shape. I need to rebuild one corner on the passenger side (can be seen in pics) and one hinge pocket on the drivers door.
