Is it a full float or semi-float? I can't tell very well from the picture.

Brody what taillights are you running? I spotted them in another post and they're what I want.

Multipost for you too because the site is being a POS right now.

They're eBay lights; I think the brand is MB Motoring or something like that. I've got like $120 into them so far between initial purchase, the Cree LED reverse lights and a shitload of silicone around the seams.

I thought it was only me, the site has been super slow lately and double posting for the past couple days. It works fine for a minute then goes back to being slow AF.

I really need to get off my ass and start throwing money at this thing.

Junkyard trip scored some decent stuff, I found some metal tailgate straps and I somehow managed to break one, could I disassemble the cable straps and use the mounts on those and just replace the cable with the metal ones?

I'm curious what your fender lip heights are now. I finally got the right springs into my truck and have 38" on one side, 38 3/16" on the other (due to suspected bent frame), about 37 1/8" up front both sides. I have the same rear leaf packs as you with 285/70/17 tires which are the same as 285/75/16 at 32.8" when new. Truck looks sooo much better, I had a 5+1 in there since last year but it sagged like a ***** ass stock half ton being a mish mash of hammered stock and God knows what aftermarket.

I've got 38" all the way around, debating on cranking up just a little and throwing a small block in the rear.

Also, I was crawling around underneath checking everything out and I'm trying to figure out my air-bag mounting situation.
The parking brake cable and diff breather are somewhat in the way of the bump-stop. So I'm not sure how I'm going to mount them. I'd like to do the u-bolt flip, but I can't find a clear image of GMT400 air bag mounts to clarify where they're gonna set.

Awesome, thanks for that. Looks like the truck is sitting as it should. I left some rake in there on purpose for hauling.

Your airbags will go where the bump stop is now. I know on my dually the parking brake and diff vent don't interfere with anything. Do you have the bags already?

Not yet, there's some other things I need to take care of before I can pull the trigger on a set of bags.
Got a picture of how they're mounted on your truck?

How's the ride quality in your K1500?
I think there's starting to be a combination of worn out bushings and worn out shocks in my truck that's going to need addressing soon.
