Going to be setting up 62 in deavers with 18 in shocks on the rear of a double cab. How do i cycle (compress and extend) the suspension to set where i mount the shocks.

pull the leaf packs apart and use just the main leaf... this will allow you to cycle it, also assuming your doing spring under you dont need to make spacers either..

Im doing the same thing myself. I just started today as a matter of fact. Im going to tack the front spring hangers about 3-4" in front of the original hangers. Then I'll take apart the leaf pack so it's down to a single leaf and bolt the rear end up to it. Ill then try and mock the shackles up and tack everything in place. Then I'll let it droop out and make any neccessary adjustments before welding everything up.
