Questions about installing rollbar.
I read that the truck needs to be perfectly level. Is that referring to the truck sitting on the ground(all 4 tires) at the desired ride height? Or does it mean up on jackstands and the frame leveled? We're finally about to start on the rollbar and I just want to do it right the first time. My truck used to have the "chevy lean" but I shimmed up the body mounts to make the bodylines match. Now it only has a small .5" difference in fenderwell height from side to side. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Re: Questions about installing rollbar.
Have it on Jack Stands and leveled out. Make sure it is square from corner to corner. Your suspension may sag differently from side to side but you need the cage to be on straight.
