That's all good, do you still have the brackets I gave you?

 

Yup I've got the C bracket, two straight brackets, shocks, and everything in the pic.

 

You are good to go, call me if you need help instaling it tomorrow

 

The first few seasons are some of the best TV ever made. Starts going downhill after season 5, and don't get me started on the last season.

They really should redo it all from season 5 onward but that'll never happen lol.

 

Speaking of great shows that failed toward the end, they're making a new final season of Dexter to make up for the catastrophe that was the finale of that one. Though I think that show was only really good for the first two seasons, the rest were meh. The trailer for the new one looks promising though.

 

Here are a few shots of mine for reference. Per the Amazon spec page, my cylinders measure 35.43" x 2". If you lengths are different, you may need to do a ratio of my measurements if you don't already know your mounting points.



from the rear, 8" from the outside lip to the center of the mounting ball


Rear edge of lower bracket to the tailgate


As you can see, mine were riveted by PO. Seem to be holding just fine.



These dampers work really well. It takes more effort to lower the top than to raise it.

 

Nobody lined up, but I'm not in a big rush.

 

Good morning @eon_blue!

Spoiler: Dread

 

morning morning, working per usual but happy to be busy

 

Gave the drivers steering boot a good squeeze and got a bunch of fluid.....and a bunch of water. I suspect that shaft is all rusted and causing the seals to leak. No wonder they've got it all clamped tight, once you get a hole water gets in but it doesn't get out.

Good news is it only seems to happen when its at the extreme ends of travel so its not squirting when i'm running down the highway.

 

Mmmhmmm

 

@Empty_Lord

when I push the break it sounds like a puff of air being released into the cab, I though it was just the boot on the back side of the booster but now I’m thinking maybe it’s something worse, thoughts?

 

That's the exact guide I used, his special Ocho-socket he created, I crudely duplicated with a 1" shaft collar that I picked up from Ace Hardware. I then took a flap disk to the edges till I was fairly close to fitting


I can't tell you if it worked or not because it's still waiting to get installed in the truck when I do all my other work

 

Hmmm

 

If it works it works! Probably!

I don't have any kind of press here, which seems to be kind of a key item. At least if you want to do it smoothly.

And time is in short supply these days.
