    It's a slow grind. I tried to swap out my front shocks/springs the other day only to find out I bought 2005 setup NOT the 2004 that I thought I was buying (Craigslist). The good news is, while I was in there with the wheels off I spotted one of the brake lines had a bulge in it. Lucky as hell that it didn't blow out. I gotta say, I love Rockauto.com! Great prices and super fast shipping!
    Anyway, looking for more options now for suspension...may just go new 5100's and upgrade the springs. I have an ARB front bumper with a winch so the front is pretty heavy.

    Ah bro... No worries at all. That would be another long haul for you anyway.

    Seriously brother, I hope everything is alright with Tiffany, and I'm definately hoping for a speedy recovery.

    @Hookgrip and @Blue Canary I know you guys have posted a parts list of what you got. But I can't find them. Remind me...

    Are either of you doing Upper Control arms?
    Are we doing Add A Leafs or full leaf packs (Pretty sure it's a full leaf pack for @Hookgrip cause we were talking about that. Can't remember for @Blue Canary)
    Do either of you need me to get the spring compressor from @foxrcing07? (Or did you guys buy the front shocks/springs pre-assembled?)
    Are either of you guys doing extended brake lines?

    No big deal either way. Just trying to get a feel for what's in store and if I need to procure additional tools.

    Pinstripes, dings, and dust.
    I'm pretty sure both our front shocks are assembled. I have UCA's and an AAL. I'm not doing brake lines, but @Hookgrip might be with the new leaf pack.

    Sounds like you're makin headway. You should be able to flip those 05 shocks back on Craigs and recoop some of the money. I'm running 5100s with ToyTec 620# coils... It rides nice and takes the weight of my tube bumper/winch fine. I believe @FirstTimeFirstGen has run the 5100s/toytecs with an ARB bumper (which is probably hevier than my bumper)

    Good that you found the brake line... that could have been messy.

    Apologies for late response.. Spent last night throwing a rack on the campershell after work.

    Full Leaf Pack, stock UCA, springs/shocks are not pre-assembled. Wasn't planing on doing anything with the brake lines.
