    Also, are the top surface of your spring mounts on the frame now parallel with the top of the frame?

    I’ll take a photo of the lazer tonight when I get home from work. It came with the tripod etc. it self levels up to a certain amount but it’s got a little bubble level right on the side of it so you don’t have to guess how close you are etc.

    @05snopro440 yeah the top is pretty close if not exactly parallel with the top flange of the frame rail. The boxing plates are inset 1/8” and the bottom of the spring mount bracket is pretty close to the bottom of the boxing plate. I did it that way so if I wanted to rotate the end of the bracket down to pre load the spring I didn’t need to move the bolt that holds the frame end of the spring. I can just pivot it.

    on that note, there are two triangle shaped gussets that will go on top of the spring bracket once it’s 100%
