tell me what we have planned here 1st. just swapping those springs or what? what do i need to have ready?......if saturday is better for you that may be preferred...since it will be warmer.....having the little one out in the garage all that while is a bit better in the 50's than the 30's........we will pull your truck in the garage too.

Swapping springs, mounting tires, clearancing those fenders and maybe a crank or two on the t-bars.
Little one is fine on her own in the house, I am gonna bring her DVD player and probably the laptop too for her to play her games. You got wireless right?
She will sit in front of the TV all day if ya got Nickelodeon too.
She's not your typical 5 year old lol.

As far as tools and such, your jack stands (mine are junk but will bring them anyway) Bringing my hi-lift (although I don't think we will ned it) and my hydraulic Jack, but another jack wouldn't hurt.
Can't seem to find my 1/2" torque wrench, but did find my 3/8" one. Also bringing that torch as well.
Brining your sawzall back and also my compressor.
God I hope all this stuff fits cus those tires take up quite a bit of room. Not gonna bring my spares though. I can mount those here. Lets just hope I won't need them to and from there. If I do, I do have AAA. lol.

me, I mounted that last one in less than 10 minutes. It's unmounting that might be a pain, but that's why I have the hi-lift. See earlier post of mine with a video. 
Don't worry, I'll be doing most of the work, you only have to hold up the truck. Rememebr my jacks stands aren't the best. Old Man Strength FTW !!!!.

we will still be working by 2:30.
If we aren't it's because those shackle bolts or the mount bolts didn't come off.
Autozone was out and I haven't picked any up, you have a few spare cans of PB or similar? I only got a half can left after spraying them down a few times today.
