Re: Lots of work to do.

If the truck doesn't ride, steer, and brake like new, I'm selling it.

Re: Lots of work to do.

I hope you ordered all your ECE stuff as package deals. I got just about everything you did but I only had to order about 4-5 "kits" to get it all.

I'm still waiting on my drop spindles, shock mount relocator and the proportioning valve to replace the damaged one I received.

They should be here any day now...and then the work starts.

Yeah, I think it is a "front end rebuild kit" "4/6 Drop Kit" and then misc other stuff.
