I question that because the truck uses a different chassis...

Its right out of the April revision build manual. I have to assume they’re building one bracket set to use on either Frame.

I had to use the upper holes for the lower control arm to get the arm to be able to droop - no choice. I used the Upper holes for the Upper control arm to have the Radiator mount OK. I did use the lower hole on the upper shock mount which will raise the ride height a little bit.
Back to using the lower hole with some rubber between the bolt head and the frame. Will continue to try and figure out the best settings.
