Springs and front axle.
There is nothing in the diagrams about the correct amount of curvature to the springs nor the need to roll the ends. Both need to be done to the rear springs. rolling the ends is only needed at the front. At least that's what I think. hopefully the truck will sit level or at the worst have a slight nose down rake. Certainly not hoping for a nose up rake.
Next the front axle is shown with only one of the two lamination callouts. Again a pattern would have been nice since the entire axle does not need laminated so the front spindles can be properly installed.
So far the build diagrams are almost useless. They give you a basic idea of how things need to look when done but very little clue on how to get there.
