    I priced a few places online but ended up calling Low Range Offroad and they gave me a good deal. Cheaper than what they, and anyone else, had advertised for pre-assembled 5100s with OME coils.

    Haha. I bought mine used and someone had just used a bunch of washers up front and literally a 2x4 block in the back...

    Is this for short people? I had to raise my rear view mirror because it sat too low...

    I gotta tell you... those dealerships really go through the trucks when they inspect them on trade in....

    Sadly, it was sitting in the salty air of Gloucester. A lot of it is rebuilt now, and I love this truck. So thankful.

    It's definitely not for me. 6'4" and can't see the stop lights without hunching down as it is. And that's with a 3" lift.

    To raise the rear of the seat to help with comfort on long drives or if you feel like the rear of the seat is too low.
    I bought two pair so I can do both seats.
    I'll paint them once I'm happy with the product.

    It raises the rear of the seat 25mm or 1 inch. You will need longer bolts.

    I like how they match the plastic that covers the seat track. Paint them and you wouldn't know they are there.

    I was hesitant at first but I really didn't like the unfinished look of the other ones and my seat just feels too low in the rear.
    You can buy some cheap spacers, install them and see if it's what you really want before dropping the cash.
    Just don't leave the cheap spacers in there for safety reasons.

    Kinda embarrassed how dirty it is. This is less than a years worth of dust.


    Measured the old plugs. .047”-.050” after roughly 50k miles.

    upload_2019-3-8_20-37-47.jpg

    Hoping this bumps the fuel mileage back up a little. Tryin to squeeze as much as I can outta it.

    Also

    Trimmed the fender liners a little bit more to add a bit more clearance.
