Welcome! Nice truck. Looks Mint.

 

Thank you for the welcome. You have a really impressive list of vehicles there.

Yes, I have babied and pampered this truck for 19 years. It has been garage kept so that has helped keep it in good condition. Now that I am retired I have the time to do all the routine maintenance stuff myself. My current project involves replacing the shocks both front and rear. I want to go with the Bilstein 5100s. My research shows that getting the front coil springs off of the old shocks and installed on the new ones is a challenge not to mention dangerous for someone like me who has no experience with that process. I am currently looking for local shops that offer the service of swapping the old coils onto the new shocks. But then again, I am also rethinking using the old coils versus buying new coils. I seem to be stuck in this analysis loop. Need to just make a decision and go for it.

Again thanks for the welcome.
