Something for all you OBS guys like myself to think about. I had to replace my stock rubber cab bushings after my DP install due to clearance issues. I used a polyurethane set from Energy Suspension that took all the droop outta my cab. If you look at you're body lines on your cab and bed, they probably don't match up anymore due to bad cab bushings. It would be real easy to get that old DP out while you had the cab jacked up to replace cab bushings...

ya know I just noticed this today on the '96, back of cab sits slightly lower (1/2") then the box body line, I just figured it was because of the terrane I was parked on, nope still does it when at home.

thanks max, have to do that next...
