A little more engine progress. I got it torn down enough and found out it’s only a 2 bolt main but I figure I’m not building a race car and for the power it will have, it shouldn’t be a problem.

A little preview of what’s to come! 4” tuff country front springs, ORD HD shackles, ORD FUSH kit, new brake lines, Bilstien 5125’s, drop pitman arm and the ORD rear shackle flip, ORD Swaybar disconnect kit, ORD HD rear shackles and rear bilstein’s are on their way! Also pictured is a new gas tank, straps and sending unit. Now to find the time to install all of it..
Damn dude! Throw the whole ORD catalog at it why don't you! Should be awesome once you get it all on the truck.

Hahahaha!! Good point!
And then my wife pointed out that since I don't have my shocks or all of my steering, I'm probably only 1/2 ho...
I'm not sure that she was pleased, or ?

Ok.. the lift is actually underway! After I got my jack stands built, I threw them up under it and started the disassembling. I took pictures for everyone! Haha!
This is where I found out how bad the front springs were..
This is how she will sit for the night until I can get back out here tomorrow and finish it up.
So far the stands I built are working perfectly!

Driver’s side is done and all that is left is the shock and brake line install on the passenger side. But.. it’s time to clean up and go out of town. I’ll have to finish her up Monday when I get back.

Front end is done!! It’s amazing how much better it handles! Now I need to get started on the rear.

Yesterdays Craigslist find! $20 for a good top! I realized that I’m probably not going to get the fullvert conversion done before winter and the other 3/4 top was tossed out because it was junk.
I'm kind of sad the old shocks didn't stay on those things were cool.
Looking good, are you happy with it?

It handles so much better now!! Those Monroe’s were good for what I needed them for until I got the lift on. Now I just need to get the rear shackle flip completed.
Hurry up and get the rear done. Looks like a squatted bro-dozer or a dog wiping it's ass on the carpet with the rear low like that.
