    Clean title, had a minor incident involving the front-passenger that was determined to have caused only cosmetic differences. So far I feel like I lucked out buying this truck because I haven’t had any major issues and I have to admit I rushed into buying it.

    I would check the bushings, if it feels sloppy and the bed is askew i'm doubting that is the shocks, just my opinion tho.

    Looks like he's not making them anymore. Copyright infringement I'm guessing.

    I’m inclined to agree but my lack of experience has made this a long process of discovery and learning and I still have a long way to go. Fun stuff though! Last month when I pulled the winch off cause it was too heavy my wife started asking questions again. I was describing all the steps i’ve taken to correct issues, adjust the ride quality, etc. Finally she says, so most of these things you’ve been doing with the suspension has been experimenting? Yup!

    Are you referring to any specific bushings? I’ll check the shackles but I don’t recall seeing bushing where the bed mounts. I also don’t remember seeing bed bushing kits when I looked at replacing the cab mounts.

    Thanks for all your help Morgan!

    Without reading the quote on this, and considering previous post, the first two sentences were hilarious .

    Anywhere bed or cab mount to the frame their should be a hard poly bushing

    This is the full kit for our trucks to give you an idea of how many bushings

    7/16-20 x 1.25” works as a replacement. That oem metric bolt size might be pretty tough to find.

    Yeah I was looking at the master kit a while back. I had purchased the steering rack kit and then found out it’s both a PITA and not the solution I needed. But the thought of having all new bush g throughout just makes me all warm and fuzzy.

    I realize my mistake now. I was imagining bushings between the bed and frame but the bed is bolted hard to the frame and the bushing are in the shackles:
