Body lift question for p/u bed
I've got a 1" BL from 4Crawler. The cab install went very well.
To install the lift on the bed, my question is this: Do I need to reuse those factory shims/pads on top of the 1" blocks to get the bed to the correct height OR only use the 1" blocks?
I couldn't find where anyone had asked a similar question.

its been along time since i have done a BL. IIRC, all those rubber pads go back where there came from!
don't quote me on it lol... I'm sure someone will chime in that knows for sure.

well, think for a moment... 
...
... if you take something out... something that was already there...
... will things line up if those parts you removed aren't there.
sorry, kinda makes me laugh-
if you add spacers all around the cab without removing anything, then you add spacers all around the bed without removing anything, if everything lined up fine to begin with.

maybe I should rephrase-
if there are rubber spacers or whatever spacers ALREADY under the bed, install the NEW 4Crawler spacers as well keeping whatever spacers are already there... and keep the new spacers closest to the bed.

ok guys, thanks. I just wanted to double check before I put it back together. I've had bed off for a couple of weeks now so I'll have to look at the dealership print out to see which spacer go where since there are two different thicknesses.
I'll try to keep the stupid questions to a minimum.
