Got all the bolts out, used a jack to raise the rear an inch. Put the blocks and pads and those 4. Lowered it and raised the front. Here is where the problem is. The long bolts go through the blocks and pads and into the top hole of the frame but are not lined up with the bottom holes in the frame. About half a bolt distance.
I had not tightened the rear bolts so I pulled them out hoping to jog the box but it would not move enough. Pulled the bed boards out so i could get a better look at the problem.
Wonder if I took a reamer and enlarged the lower hole to accommodate the bolt would be all right. As of now I have put her away until I get in a better mood and have more help. Hardly a one man job in my case.
