Thanks guys, here’s some pictures of it sitting a bit lower. It feels like it actually might happen. Talked with the body shop about paint and they’ve no openings for about 6 weeks. Don’t like leaving the shop till it’s done, but if it rolls, we’re going.
Took the ride height down about 1 inch. According to some pictures I posted a couple pages back, this height should be about stock for the rear. I’m probably going to run it at this height to see how it rides, and make certain it doesn’t bottom out. Right now it’s around 4 3/4 of up travel. A couple pictures show it bottomed, then at ride height. You might notice I had to cut all of the bed off that protrudes forward of the box. When I cut the tower pockets, it’s now required to drop the bed straight down to install. The fenders are made of .120 aluminum, the mounts are made from 3/16 steel, so there’s no worries of them flexing or needing any help from the bed.
