Home just about an hr ago. Unpacked and camper clean and ready for next trip.
observations...this truck needs mo powa. 4.10 gear swap would prob do it well. I just hate to for unloaded driving.
The ultimate remedy is clifford doing this work. The wife was asking me about the next step after seeing how hard this thing is working. Not thinking any long towing trips are in the works for this current combo.

Make it run good, paint it and move it at the end of summer. Put the cash into Clifford.

Aaron. Great job getting the truck ready and having a successful trip.
Do you happen to know the length of stock front coil springs? The 2019 springs seem a lot longer than the 1996 springs. I am unsure how much sag is in the spring.

Man that was what sure felt like a lot done in a short window. I never thought I would get this back honestly. I was looking to buy something to pull with for short term when it happened.
Either way lots to do around here.
One of these days I'll work on the fuel leaks. Not today.

The 2019 coil is much longer than the coil on the 1996 2wd. Something like 20" and 13". I am not sure how much sag the 1996 coil has in it. If you had a coil out a comparison could be made.
