    I did send the side view pic to Scott's and they said it is fine mounting the coil over tilted back 20 degrees. They did tell me to cycle it to make sure theres is no binding. They have a lot of pics on there site with coil overs but none that really show if the coil over is tilted to the back. I really hope once it's installed it doesn't ride like sh*t.

    The coilovers themselves and the angle that they're mounted at won't make the truck ride like s***, but the hard connections with no compliant material to absorb road and powertrain shock may be a different story.

    Go ahead and put it together and run it. If you like it, keep it. If not, put the truck up for sale and move on to another project. I think you probably know what NOT to do by now.
