I did the swap by follwing this post on HAMB, and it was awesome when I was done!
hmm Im a little confused by this... the way the HAMB link installed the subframe, actually makes the vehicle sit LOWER (if i'm not mistaken) than the No-limit install. the higher the subframe sits above the frame, the lower the truck will sit.
when I did the No-limit install my subframe was at the same level as the original frame, the method you mention, and also similarly shown by the post below yours, have the subframe sitting above the original frame, thus the wheels will be higher in the wheel well, dropping the truck front end.
