86M1028 That would be great if you could give me bottom bumper measurements off your stock M1009. Thanks. Could you also tell me in number of leafs in the stock rear spring packs. I'm suspecting that my truck may have an rear add a leaf.
I bought up a set of unused CS140 4" skyjacker...
I spent some time looking at the superlift catalog. I think my M1009 has the 4" adjustable drag link (not for sure its SL's) Also noted that I have a 3 " drop sway bar brackets installed. Could not find any part number markings on front or rear springs. I did some leaf spring measurements...

Thanks

Thought I would ask before doing it the hardway. Batt trays are removed for easy access.
Thanks
