Cool thanks dude. I was going to repair it with fiberglass and as I was taking it off, 90% of the clips broke off.

Ya those clips are GARBAGE!

It's a work in progress

Those sway bar bushings look familiar..

good looking truck bud

Hmmm those bushings do look familiar and good! Front end looks good dude. Im piecing mine together, looking to have the front end done in the next few weeks. Just ordered the grille from ebay yesterday. then its on to the rear end.
Which brings me to my next question, I noticed that that my truck is lower on the rear drivers side. i started measuring some stuff and im about 7/8" of an inch lower on the drivers side and im wondering if anyone has suggestions as what could be causing this??? There is an add-a-leaf from the factory that is 5/8" difference from the passenger side, also the driver side shock is 1/4" shorter. Could this be affecting it? maybe its the bushings in between the bed and frame? Im not really sure. Has anyone had this issue before?

I appreciate it.
Let me know how that grill is. I need to order one soon, mines pretty bad.

As far as the leaning, if I remember correctly its a somewhat common issue with the leafs. But that's about all I remember.. I think DodgeDude has more info on it. I'm sure he'll pop on the forum sometime today and chime in.

My grille is due on the 22nd, you'll definitely see pics! I paid $78 for it on Ebay, with out the emblem, but mine on my old grille is fine, I'll pop that off an put it on the new one.

doesn't it have something to do with the gas tank being on the driver's side? I know I've read about it on here a while ago, just can't remember for sure

new grille came in. I would suggest keeping the old clips off your stock grill, as in the ones that came with a new grill were too big and wouldn't fit the old screws. but it fits pretty dang good for a part on eBay.paid $78 for it, free shipping, no issues out the box. Check out the pics.

Just noticed the comment about Dodge lean.

Yes, the springs on the driver's side of the truck get worn out due to the battery, driver and gas tank.
Driver's side front coils are stiffer than passenger side, but the leaf springs are the same. To fix Dodge lean all you need is a used passenger spring off a wrecked truck.

Thanks for the input DD. It's more of an annoyance than anything. I'm in the market for a lift, I'm looking for a leaf lift, no blocks, that should fix the problem.
