Oil changes got easier

Hehehe, it rides soooooo nice.

 

That’s the best pic you could come up with?

 

Yea some before/afters are in order here...

 

I gotta clean the garage. Lol
Bettah?



After.

 

Nice! How much lift did you get out of those icons?

 

Around1.5 inches using their 3 leaf progressive with the overload removed.

 

Big box for a Fumoto valve!

 

That’s what I was expecting too

 

I know right.... a lift doesn’t really make oil changes easier

 

Having more room under the truck doesn't make things easier?

 

Off topic but I don't think I've ever seen a deck/porch laid even with ground level. Looks cool.

 

I can agree with him on the lift makes it easier to do oil changes because I can use a plain 5 gallon bucket in adition t the fumoto valve takes 10 minuets max

 

...I think it does

 

I was expecting a Fumoto valve lol!

 

I Like the deck also and the truck looks nice........I like the way it sits.

 

I put about 50 miles on it yesterday and it feels pretty damn good. The truck seemed to rock coming out of turns, but putting the sway bar back in took care or that. I still need an alignment.

I did this with the springs still mounted. Had the front passenger side bolt was/is frozen in the sleeve.
Using the pin, I lined everything up before clamping the leaves together. I then measured and cut the new pin and used a pipe to push the spring up leveraging against the spring perch. It went smoother than I thought.
The only other issue I had was the passenger side moved back when it dropped off the pin. A 2" wide ratchet strap pulled it back into place. With a little tension on the spring from the diff; click, look ,click, look, click pop, and the pin was in the hole.
The drivers side went much quicker...

 

No sure what the purpose is but does look cool - wait a minute - maybe that is the purpose.

 

So, I got a150 or so miles on it now and got an alignment today. A friggin toe and go... Didn't have time to complain then and there but I went back and they'll be doing it again.
I should have done this sooner. I am Mclovin' the ride.

 

Fumoto lol.

 

Good luck with those
