Well i was able to SAS it in a day in a half. I like how it turned out just

need blocks for the rear though. Also still dealing with LOW oil pressure which i have been sense doing the head gaskets on my 3.0 if you guys have any suggestions id appreciate it and i have already replaced the oil pressure switch so thats not it.

It looks fantastic..and to have only taken 1.5 days to put together. Gotta ask though, why the 5inch kit? What's all the height for?

Wow thats fast, took me 4.5 days with help. How about adding flat leafs in the rear to get height, and or longer shackles?

I already have very long shackles and have an over lead under my 63. Easiest and cheapest way is blocks.

Looks good. Really tall!! That's a fast turn around. Did you work non stop?

So oil pressure was normal before the HG?

Haha nope started friday afternoon had everything cut off by the end of the day. Then saturday cleaned up the frame welded hanger and cut shackle holes. Then later steering, shocks, ect. Pretty straight forward. I had to have it done by Monday but i didnt really know how long it was going to take. And yes the oil pressure was normal before the head gasket.
