Looks like spring is sprung, hope everyone is getting a chance to go out and enjoy it as the next season may be autumn and spring was our summer again.

Day 3 pumping out my driveway lol

Got one of the lowering hangers from the junk yard today going back for the second Tomorrow. And found out the truck had drop beams so will be going back for those as well

Met up with Puddy for a coffee today which was long overdue and going to help him tomorrow get ready for his move.

Make sure you double check the idler arm to see if it's the same as yours or if theres a modification on it Midnite.
Trying to get my interior finished up today, everything fits but am having a hard time with 2 bolts on the drivers seat mounts as the gas tank is in the way.

Sometimes on lift and lowering kits there's an extension added to the idler arm to correct alignment with the drag link Midnite , its not always needed but its something that needs to be double checked.

My left brain sometimes thinks its right and my right brain sometimes doesn't know the difference, at least I'm not calling my bumper a fender, have a buddy wind up with a driver side fender when he did that.

I suppose I'm not a post counter to boost my numbers, but I've always read the comments.

Last of my bum around days as the hip is getting better, would be nice if getting my coffee wasn't dangerous. Snow is off the front yard so it's time to do the spring yard clean up and start the first of the landscape projects. Neighbor wants me to build a kids playroom and put in a window so that should keep me busy for a few days. I like recessions as theres a lot of work for people like me, already have 2 fences booked and am expecting calls on 2 more and a roof edge repair thats being done when its dry and a bit warmer.
