Well, I don't know who can install one of these kits in 1.5 hrs, but I know I can't. The pass. side wasn't so bad. I got that done- working by myself- in a little more than 1 hr. The drivers side for some reason fought me until I finally went and borrowed a coil spring compressor. Total time was 3.5-4 hrs. I am very satisfied with the appearance as it sits like it should now. Anyone else have this issue?

 

I don't know what the problem was, but where are the pictures?

 

Uh, yeah, I'm working on it. Busy with my sons all-star baseball team(coaching) and I had a limited amount of time yest before I needed to get to our practice. I'll get them asap. Problem was I couldn't get the lower strut mount to cooperate. The strut was slightly twisted and I couldn't get the A-arm to droop enough. I was worried about the brake line, which was pretty tight. And when I got in and started the truck after completion, the brake pedal went almost to the floor, but 2 pumps and it was back to normal, without any further problems. Is that normal?

 

OK so I tried to take some pics quick as it was starting to rain, and I had it on video instead of picture . So I will have to try it again later after it stops pouring rain.
EDIT: I just noticed your location says Bagdhad, thank you for your service to our country. One of my good friends is Army SF 21/33 and he is heading back to Afghanistan in a few months.

 

Here ya go

 

 

2" or 2.5"?

looks very nice

 

2". That was enough of a pain for me. Well, only the drivers side really fought me a little. Thanks! My kids are fascinated with the power rear slider. They are always bugging me to open it.

 

Nice lookin' truck Tim ........... I didn't think you needed a tool box that big for a gasser .............

 

hey I hope you like yours better then I did mine. It was a good truck, best interior I have ever seen. I just didnt like the 5.4 3v or the ride quality. That said Im kinda picky

 

Right Bismic- the toolbox is from the KR, its a Weathergard so I didn't want to part with it. It really looks big with the 5.5' box too. As far as ride quality- I think it rides awesome! And at 310 hp its no slouch with the 6 speed tranny. IIRC its 325hp with E85?

 

IMO dont waste your money on e85. the milage is much worse with it.
I did forget the new 150 does have a 6speed.

 

I did hear that about the mileage and E85. I wouldn't even know where to get it even if I wanted to, I haven't seen it around here.

 

Congrats on the new truck Tim.. Looks sharp for sure..

 

Sharp looking truck, Tim. Man, that toolbox takes up half the bed.
