    Thanks for the link...

    Do you happen to know what he means by “just mount the shock in the upper mounts and attach the lower tabs to the shock hold the shock in place keeping the left and right of the shock as close to 90 degrees as possible.”

    Do I 1st lower the truck and put all the weight on the leafs, then do this? What needs to be 90 degrees?...does he mean if I’m looking at the axle from the side; one shock should go up and to the left from the axle at 45 degrees and the rear her should go up and to the right at 45 degrees?

    Thanks for your help!

    Sorry, I can't really help with any of that.
    It's a popular mod so I'm sure there is more information out there.
