I think there is enough room behind the bumper to lift it up a little bit.
After you drop your body back down a little bit, it wouldn't take much lifting of the bumper to close that gap.
You seem handy enough to get the job done.

Okay yall, i need a little help on this one.
Today i went thru a couple mud trails and got pretty deep. But shes faithful and we go ***** to the wall when need be. Didnt get stuck once!
Of course theres always aprice to pay.
So I pull into the drive way when we get home and my brakes go out; Pedel went to the floor. I tried to figure out what it was and by the looks of the passenger tire being soaked, a bad caliper. Which sucks because i JUST bought calipers for my D60 axle, but i dont have all the parts for a SAS yet =(
Next is the what im confused on.
As im looking for leaks in the brake lines i notice this and a small (2in diameter) puddle under it. This is the pitman arm. Im assuming that gap between pitman arm and the steering box isnt a good thing....?
I never noticed before. Does this mean i need a new steering box? I mean like i said i never noticed while driving any difference.

- Remove the Steering Shaft from the upper portion of the steering box.
- Remove the 2 PowerSteering Hoses from the Steering Box.
- Remove the Steering End link that connects to the Pitman Arm
- Remove the actual Steering Box from the frame
- Use a Pitman Arm Puller to remove the Pitman Arm
- Undo the bolts, snap rings (Total PITA), etc and replace the blow seal.
Then put everything back on in reverse order.
The actual Lower Steering Box Seal kit is like $7-8...
If I remember correctly on the tools/sizes-
- Steering shaft uses a 6pt, 13mm socket.
- The High Pressure Power Steering Hose uses a 1/2" Line Wrench
- The Low Pressure Power Steering Hose uses a 5/8"? Line Wrench
- The Castle Nut that holds the Tie Rod/Drag Link on is a 11/16"? Socket
Total time replacing that seal should be around 1.5-2 hrs..Ish..lol

Here is one way to tint them yourself
Not sure I recomend tinting them on the vehicle, but it gives you an idea.

I want mine as bright as I can get, in fact I'm looking for some really bright LED's. I wish someone made a complete replacement LED tail-light for our trucks! I want that person behind me that's driving a guided missile and playing on their cell phone to notice me, especially when they've been drinking or getting high,eh. I gues I learned a few things when driving big trucks cross-country.

It looks like those are headlight covers, NOT tinted headlights
