Ok another drop ??

I sure wish the search was working as it would be alot easier.


OK heres the deal. I need to buy some tools to losten the bolts and stuff when I lower the L. ? is, what sizes do I need. I believe they are Metric, but not sure. I just went out and tried to see if my 3/4 and 7/8 woudl work . NOT so what sizes do I need to buy??

I am never going to get my exhaust at this rate.

$$ for shocks, $$ for tools

Empty pockets.

I think I will buy some lottery tickets tonight

13/16" is a must. Combination & deep socket. You'll need it to put on the cam bolt kit and also for the shackles.

Actually everything except for the cam bolt kit is metric.
I remember using my 19mm, 21mm, 23mm and a 25 or 27 for that huge nut on the front side of the leaf spring.

I hope you have air tools to knock those rivets out in back, it took the mechanic 3 hours to punch mine out...

Yes make sure you have a good air impact hammer. I just did this this weekend and it took longer to remove the mount rivits than the rest of the job. A good tip that I got was after you get the mount brackets off cut the rivits flat to the frame before you punch then out. They cut very easy after the mount brackets are off. Use the air impact hammer to punch them out after they are cut flat to the frame.

Yes I have air tools.

I got the front done. Was going to pull truck out of garage for a pic and my battery was dead. Probably from playing the music for so long. Or my battery is shot.


The front went pretty well. Tomorrow I will tackle the rear. Wish me luck. I fear the worst being the hangers. DOH!!
