    After a long day, we decided to throw a level on the bed and we all took out guess at the final rake. It ended up being 1 degree nose down.

    ...old thread but guess it's still goin;...I flip'd the rear spring hangers to the top of the framerail, then with rear on top of springs you can use blocks if needed...mine already had the longer lowering shackles so I used them..no problem with the bed fitment... 55 chev pu 120.jpg 55 pickup good 016.jpg
