    IMG_4548.png IMG_4511.jpg Did a lot of this work to my 2003 in summer of 2022. Cam bolts had to be cut out as the truck spent most its life in Maryland. LCA bushings were the biggest hang up. Had to torch and bottle jack them out. Went with OME suspension kit with 2881 springs, camburg uca, also did front wheel bearings, lower ball joints, lca bushings used were whiteline. It was a lot of work to knock out at once. Well worth it the truck drives much better. Install was done at 205k miles on the truck. Here are a few pics of the bottle jack and torch method for the lca and a pic of how the truck currently sits. Next up is new steering rack, rear axle bearings and seals, timing belt and valve cover gasket.
