[QUOTE="slowcoupe, post: 1303259, member: 5146"] Took a break from the interior as i couldn't find seats or anything else I was looking for. Happened to find a DJM 5'" rear shackle kit locally on craigslist.(what're the chances of that?!) Since i had torn the truck down to start the frame shortening I figure what better time to install the rear shackle kit. Ended up setting the kit at the lowest drop and removing my overload spring and one leaf from the pack. This may change later when I add the front arms so that it will sit level. Installed as suggested by other posts the Bilstein 33-185590 rear shocks Started the install in the afternoon and finished just after dark right before torrential downpour hit us here in Vegas.. [ATTACH=full]158778[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]158779[/ATTACH] Here she sat the next day as I stripped out everything else to start the cutting of the frame. [ATTACH=full]158780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]158781[/ATTACH] Measured about 10 times and cut once making this a pretty straight forward job. After looking at a few other peoples cuts and gusstes i ended up going with a Z cut and gusseted the frame on the inside. I removed exactly 16" inches from the frame which worked out perfectly in the end to line up all the holes. I had everything on about 8 jack stands jack stands to keep the truck perfectly level throughout the process.

I was pleasantly surprised the body lines, and bolt holes for the bed and everything were spot on. [ATTACH=full]158788[/ATTACH] . [/QUOTE]
