    Thanks!
    I'll try and get you a measurement today. I crashed out pretty hard yesterday riding MX and broke a few ribs, so I'm a slow mover...



    But I do have an update. I took measurements, and the leaves net 5.5" of lift on the truck. If they settle at all, they will be too short.
    I called Alcan and spoke with the owner Bill. He was eager to help, and said he would send me a replacement leaf for either side to replace the 6th and 7th lift, to stiffen/raise her up a little bit.
    I also have shims coming.

    I'll get a hub to fender measurement today for you, and update with the replacement leaves.

    You're telling me. I've broken ribs a few times before, and it's never been fun, had to "sleep" in a chair last night, laying down wasn't happening.


    Side note, I was lucky enough to get my other project done yesterday monrning, paint matched my chrome grill.

    I almost forgot about you, stepped out to measure for you.
    Hub to fender is approx. 27.5", hard to be certain though, without taking the wheel off you have to bend the tape around the tire.
    I also measured top of rim to fender, and got 18 1/4".

    I'll be starting a new thread soon, but after calling Alcan he sent me a couple of replacement leaves for the 6th and 7th leaves in the packs, to stiffen it up a little for just a tad more height. Thumbs up to Alcan, he was more than happy to help, free of charge.
