Question about Mark VIII IRS install

Post by fuzzier1 »

To all that have installed a Mark VIII IRS in their truck, I see everyone says to level the frame but my question is where are you leveling from? I put a level on the frame right behind the cab and got it level I then drew a line 14 1/2 inches back from the axle centerline (checked from the end of the frame and was real close to the 22 5/16). Went up 1 3/4 fromm the bottom of the frame and then leveled a straight edge from there and the horizontal line is 1 inch from the bottom of the frame. This seems high to me from the pictures I have seen of the rear bracket installation from others project. Does anyone have a close up picture of the rear bracket installation showing how far from the bottom of the frame to the top of the bracket. It would be appreciated. Fuzz

The best place to level is behind the core support or that's what I've found.
