Checked the spark plugs..still as clean as the day I got it, and gapped perfectly. Not bad for 5,000 miles.

Default Finished Lift Kit.. Kinda

Finished putting in my 5.5 RE LA kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It took almost 60 hrs. I cannot get the stock pitman arm off for the life of me 8ft pipe on a breaker bar, only broke my pitman puller .

Every single upper bolt for the rear shocks broke. so I guess I will be fabbing up some brackets to weld there.
