I ordered the OME 3" heavy duty suspension lift from 4Crawler. I got the 4 shocks, the springs, the caster kit and the steering stabilizer.

At about 8:30 at night my buddy and I decided to see what was involved in installing it, and by 10:00 we had the front shocks and springs installed.

Installation was straight forward, We jacked up the frame, then pulled the tires. We compressed the springs, and they came out easy enough. Putting the springs back in required...

The Radiator leaking was a concern for me. I was able to patch it nicely with a Permatex Radiator repair kit.



While I don't consider this a permanent fix, this will probably hold much longer than...

My first priorities with this truck are to first make it MVA compliant, and then to make it a reliable daily driver.



I managed to AirCare it with no problems, and was please to learn that all the brakes needed were new bulbs.

After hauling a heavy trailer...

I started by trying to access the heater unit under the dash. The deeper I got, the more difficult this seemed to reach, due partly to the AC condenser unit that is mounted beside and on top of the heater unit.
