Moved it over 2 ft in the garage to make room for cutting cabinet trim / materials. I got 3 weeks off so once the kitchen is wrapped up going to take it out in the early mornings for a cruise before the crazies get on the road!
Got a Hitachi brand IAC coming from Rock Auto today or tomorrow to replace the jobber part from my local part store. Slap that on and see how it reacts.

I received my shocks back from Vi-king Friday. I had them inspect/fix them since the truck sat for so long.

While putting those on yesterday, I installed all new Energy Suspension bump stops and Sway bar bushings/hardware.

I installed some very low mile stock coil springa to remedy my driver side being lower than the passenger side in the front. Unfortunately, I did not help.

I reinstalled my Aero force interceptor gauge that I had repaired. While that are was apart, i decided to fix my truck needing the shifter pushed up to stset. I inspected the shift column bushing those looked great. Then, all I did was loosen the black thing onside the trans, tilt it more and tighten it down.

I did manage to drop a screw in there that prevented me from shifting out of drive. That was fun.

I next on the list this week is all new spark plugs and change out the fuel filter.

Big thanks to @GEN2LIGHTNING for helping me install the hotchkis leafs. Ended up tweaking something in my back when loading up tools to knock it out at his house, so he did 99% of the work.

Had to grind down jlp shackles to clear the leaf spring on the highest setting.
On smooth roads with strange shocks on 7th setting it rides amazing. But when on rough roads it's pretty bumpy. However it sits just how I wanted it!

Might have made him consider the stifflers traction bars when he helped reattach them.

So going from the 03 leafs with jlp shackles at lowest setting to hotchkis leafs and jlp shackles at highest setting it dropped about 2 1/4"

What position does she play? I just stopped coaching in HS after a dozen years. Truck is in shop getting a bit of work done and then to the detailing shop. I just moved and figured it was time to drag it out. I need to give my Sister a piloe of money as I bought her half of family home. Going to take a bit more so I can build a shop here.\
