OOOooo, crap, ive had alot of beer and sleep since then:rofl:heck, i dunno what i ate for dinner! Jeez.....some reason 4" is comin to mind? id hafta measure them (unfortunatly my truck isnt near me right now) I can't remember if i made those as 3 or 4" drop? I drilled the new holes in the flatstock and cut and welded them on based on bolt hole centers. I then used the old bolt holes for some beefy rosette/plug welds It was alot of work but that was pulling the overload springs out too. But I live for fabrication and stuff like that! And i learned stuff and saved some dough!
Oh and you hafta change or modify or shim the spring pack centering bolt if ya pull leaves out. I left the lil shim plates in mine, didnt wanna chance the springs rubbin togather and makin noise, and leaves a gap to wash dirt/grit out of them.
