    Probably going to take you a bit to get used to getting in and out of the truck once you get those installed.

    Happy Berfday, Josh! I buy you a beer next time we wheel or wrench.

    When do you think you're getting to installing the springs?

    Not sure yet, the 5100s come this week.

    I may put the truck up on stands take the old stuff off and re use the top plates, I am going take them to the local shop and have the springs put on the struts.
    Or i may buy new top plates.

    I need to do LBJ at the same time.
