That all sounds about right. It can be hard to get the front end to come down on a full size truck.
Now tow with it. If it doesn't push you around in the lane then your good to go. If you do find the truck is suddenly moved from one place in your alne to another, tighten up the spring bars a little more. Keep in mind that two washers equal 1 link. Make any adjustments using very small increments. That means try adding 1 washer if it doesn't handle right.
I wouldn't want to drill 8 holes either! I would try one bolt at each end and see how it works out.
Not sure what you meaning for washers. I don’t have any washers on my set up other than the two locking toothed washers on the top angle bolt for the hitch head.
As for the headlights, at the current measurements, the front end height didn’t change, and the rear only lowered 1”, I’ve towed with this truck before with similar drop in the rear without any issues.
Ok, I’ll hitch everything up today or tomorrow and take it for a ride down the highway and see how it handles. Will report back.
