Big thanks to solarman for helping me sort out all my diff and box fluids today aswell as sorting out the spring spacers and suspension lift. I learnt a great deal of information and watching rick work his magic when normal procedures just dont work was interesting! We also discovered leaking veg oil from the injector leak off hoses. As a spacer thing on my clutch pedal was also knackered (found whilst changing the master cylinder) rock managed to fabricate one out of something we found :thumb2

All in all a great day! Thanks again rick :cool:

was getting worried that you had not got home, about to ring you to find out, how did the clutch perform? Rick
 
Lifted the rear with a block of wood and a jack :cool:

Taking time to line it up right and make sure it didn't kick out

On the new 2.7 facelift molds, the exhaust was in the way to jack up on the left, so rick with his quick thinking came up with this idea :thumbs

That bit made me grin, I thought I was pretty ingenious at doing work arounds, but Rick is in a different league.

Truck looks good.

Did you lift the front as well, if so, did you just wind the torsion bars up. Once you have run it for a bit on the lift, I would be interested in your thoughts on how it feels and handles on the road, oh and a link to those lifters.

Yes I was surprised just how good he was with a spanner :lol you can see wood jacking up the truck too. Yes we did lift the front, pretty much as far as it will go without removing something from its splines and setting lower (time was tight)

The drive home was interesting, pitch black roads full of occasional deep water, I may have hit a few quite hard :augie

Motorway work she feels great, still threw her into some corners and all is ok.
Will snap some pics when I can get her in the light.

Might wanna loose the side steps too.
