Thanks for the post about grinding the tabs but I wish you would have said something about the upper bolt. Or am I the only big dummy that thought it would be better to install them from the outside only to find it is too long and would hit the frame.

B-E-T-T-E-R DO IT!

Why yes I am SD, but I think the screwed 2x4's got tossed so I have to cut some more and get the 2.5" zinc drywall screws out.

The lower I can make it the better, Go's along with the lighter I can make it,The more torque and traction I can make,The more travel I can get etc....BUT better nose high than raked.

I thought that was too obvious so didn't want to seem condisending.

Thanks Bechlyf.
I just did mine.
Here are some pics of the tools I used.
One is a 1/4 drive setup that I used to undo the toolbox bolts.
I didn't remove the whole box. I just undid it and let if flop out of my way for clearance.

Nice writeup. Pics helped a lot! Thanks...

Pneumatic tools, nice. I have a 6 gal.pancake compressor, would that do the trick?

I seriously doubt it.....
Not enough volume in those small tanks .....
I tried it with my pancake on my wheels but it would not break the lugs loose..
It did good running the lugs on but i still had to hand torque the lugs down...
