    Yeah, you do the maths and I'm gonna sit here and try to look pretty.

    So who is doing the install and when is it going down?

    not sure of location. At your place, since you have the nicest garage with the most space?

    hopefully we can do @Lots2Learn58 rear suspension too

    Don't think I've met him or ever heard from him. Was that a hint? Or a direct request?

    Cool guy. I helped him do his UCAs. He just needs to decide if he wants a leaf pack or AAL. He is doing BAMF shock relocation with King 12" travel rear shocks. A little more complicated than my install.

    Direct request? if I do the install at my house, it has to be in the driveway/heat because I cant fit my truck in my garage at all. I dont have a preference where i will do the install.

    I will say this right now, I'm not doing a relocate on someone else's truck. That is a whole lot of hours to get that done and I haven't done one yet.

    Don't mean to be rude sounding, but that is a bit over my comfort level. And a lot can go wrong if everything isn't done just right.

    I think that would be wise. I don't have his level of experience. I have no problem throwing the springs in though. Could save him a couple dollars there.

    @TacoFMS i appreciate any and all help! Leaf springs and brake lines would be awesome. I'm just worried if I install a new leaf pack with stock struts I'm gonna run into problems. Would I be able to drive it until Danny can do the relocation? No off roading or anything just street driving

    Have you tried to loosen the brake lines yet? With the truck being an 05 there is a good chance that they may be seized and I may not be able to swap them.

    I don't have a flare nut wrench but I can give it a try. It's in pretty good shape under there with only 65k

    If they start to round off at all STOP. If you completely round them you are pretty much screwed
