I removed my center console and am currently trying to tackle the stuck CDL shifter issue. So far just removed that metal C shaped link that connects the bottom of the linkage and the top of the transfer case. Scratching my head though, I turned the 13mm nut at the top of the t-case that is supposed to activate my CDL but it's not.

They're QT reverse cones, meaning they go on the bottom instead of the top.
The blue Poly cones are for sale already, Jake had a set.

Brett.. WOW!! Looks good man I'd say if you had the front stuffed more you may even get more droop out back.. I'd say you surpassed your goal.

Gave the suspension a 100 mile highway test run and hit up about a mile of trails. It's is good to go for the long haul..
Like Brett said.. I got one of the first pairs in the US Been running them since September and they are awesome. Reseats every time and 0 noise except some spring binding. I couldnt find any good action shots all I could find is this..

I was more sold on the fact that they reseat 100% of the time. Which is why I suggested them to Brett The way they are designed even the short spike kind like the QT's or metal Terrafirmas I doubt they make much noise.

I didn't hear any noise with them reseating.

~2.1 gallons IIRC. It's in the owners manual.

Well today I made leaps and bounds in improving my gas milage... On top of replacing my injectors with 3rd gen Ford injectors I change my fuel filter, downgraded my fan clutch to the standard duty Chevy from the severe duty Chevy (wow it's way quiet!!) and I get the same temps. I also got rid of my rack! I didnt use it enough anyways and want to get a rear bumper with a swing away spare carrier. All I hear on the road now is tires and exhaust and I feel lighter and more aerodynamic..

Here's a pic of the truck rackless.. I may get rid of the roof rails too later on


And here's another beautiful ghettofab creation.. having a welder is so awesome hahah

Replaced a bent steering damper. The end was bent from before I relocated it. Started getting squeamish about it shearing off while driving...
