    I would love to have the measurements. I still plan to measure as well but would love your measurements to verify accuracy.

    Been following this forum religiously before I call to order my Alcan springs.
    A lot of good information…but some concern. I’ll wait for a couple more install updates before I pull the trigger!

    Side shot post-added leaf. Looks pretty level and if anything sits up a tad more in the rear but it'll probably settle. If not, I'll buy a heavier tool box :cool:

    I forgot to ask...are your ubolts bare steel from Alcan? They looked like some surface rust. I will paint mine before I install them.

    Yeah these springs are shot at 13k miles and no idea why they have a gap. I'm removing the 1/2 inch block and my springs will have 1/2 inch of lift and the Toytec shackles will give the other 1.5. I hope they don't flatten like some claim that there's did.
