I lost a spare long ago, the cable rotted/frayed and you get the rest of the story.

Don't rightfully know when or where I lost it.

I can only hope that it didn't take out anyone that might have been behind me, or came along that spot later.

I learned today that the Quigley suspension lift equals the Connecticut limit for raising the sprung portion of the vehicle, four inches over stock.

I'm thinking there goes my plans to have a 2" lift between the frame and the body.

But then again, I'm not raising the frame any higher.

Anyone have some insight on this?

So I can fit a larger turbo.

It would make getting in around the engine that much easier.

Improved air flow in the engine compartment.

Thanks Aaron

Most of my family's possessions have been in storage for the past seven year.

There is little to box up for the coming move into the new to us house.

Best wishes.
