His issue is the same as anyone who does a frame swap without a kit or without following directions that someone who has done the swap several times to the letter. It works a lot better if you have the stock frame sitting next to the frame you are going to swap under the truck to get your measurements off.
Think how the guys at Code 54 probably did when they made their first S 10 swap kit. Stock frame sitting next to the S 10 frame with both leveled at the same end ride height. Then build mounts to set the cab on the new frame so it sits at the exact same ride height that it would have on the old frame. Then the guys who buy the kit can set their own suspension height when they put the truck together.
