    I guess I've got to start this very soon....


    So I got the package from Headatrong... They pre assembled the front coils/struts, so I wouldn't have to worry about spring compression. If you youtube:
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vkVLBOnAifc
    Then you use each step with out releasing springs. You must drop lower control arm. Once you so that, the coil drops out. So total of 3 nuts above strut/cool, 2 3/4" for the LCA, 1 3/4 on bottom of strut and 2 3/4" just below rotor. Be sure to lift truck up high enough to compensate for the difference in lift that the new coils and struts will lift your truck.

    Did the diff breather relocation to inside the fuel door and also did the hose clamp on the tail gate. Plan to get me some heat shrink to cover up the hose clamp and make the install look cleaner.

    Yup yup. Paid $100 for 2 large pieces of 3/4" at work. The other one may be turned into a target, or saved for my next Cummins (wanting to build a mini APV)

    Finally got off my ass and ran my aux cable under the center console. Drilled a hole in the blank next to the aux input jack and ran the cable through it and under the console. Took the console out for ease. Ran it up inside of the center storage box and out of the notch I previously did for my cb mic cable. I might move the aux cable from that spot though.

    About 30 minutes once I figured out how I wanted to do it. I took the a/ c panel and radio out to get behind the blank to get it out. Honestly i didn't think to try to stick a small flat head to lever it out. You'll save about 10 minutes if that works.
