    Shackle Question

    Oh I know. Everything else measures the same or even. But with one spring mounted a lower then the other. Should I try longer shackles on one side, so the eyes of the springs are the same distance from the frame or just go ahead and replace the springs?

    Has anyone used the LMC glass channel over the Rock auto one? I ordered the majority of my door parts from Rock auto because I source a lot of parts from there. But the glass channels and vent window seals, were just a horrible fit. Anyone have any experience with LMC ones before I order from...

    Door Gap

    I actually got out of the truck after my last reply and just gave it a good jolt. It's not exactly perfect. But a whole lot better. Had no idea they were that easy to bend. Thanks for that
