Thanks man, I lost a bolt, not sure how, and fastenal doesn't have them. Just my luck. They all start out at 6" long...4" would be the max that I would want to use.
Thanks again, I actually went back and read your OP, and it stated at the bottom...could have tried that first before asking.

I haven't had it aligned with the C-O's yet, I aligned it before(at same ride hight) but I was having issues with camber (my adjusters wouldn't work so I need to replace them just haven't got around to it yet) I don't have any excessive tyre wear and my camber wasn't too bad just not in spec.
I need to replace all the bushings, tie-rods and such, just haven't had time, once I get the Alfa on the road I can spend some time/money on getting it done.
Basically if your truck aligns now you shouldn't have any problems, I'm just having some 260k old truck with arthritis issues.

Awesome thread!
I'd be a little skeptical of those mounts now supporting the full weight of truck, especially against weight of controlling factory 20's against it too... but who knows. Do you both still have bump stops intact? Cuz if you nail a square edged bump and bottom the shock I could see it just shearing those bolts down there!
Now somebody please guinea pig a setup like this with raised upper pockets that'll clear CV shafts for us lowered 4wd/awd drivers!!

I've put over 1,000 miles on this set up with out issue so far, and i drive over some crappy roads out here - even hit a couple pot holes/bumps enough to bottom out with no issues.
I modified the stock bump stop, I still plan on grabbing better poly ones soon.
I think Atomic can hook you up with some sweet mounts for the 4wd set-up!
