... Good to know that from your experience neither the ride nor the sagging-when loaded, are affected - thanks. I did get a bit of a lift when I installed them. I am looking for the front OME's to get me some lift too, for the 'stance', I want. If the Coilovers allow just a bit of bed sag, when loaded down, then the LSV might be allright, angled just above the axle plane. Something to check, for sure. youngfred

... I will look at the LSV position when I mount wheel/tires and set it down to Torque the Front - Upper/Lower Control Arms. I plan to carry a couple of dirt-bikes, some tools and plenty of cold-beer, of course. When the truck is on the ground I will load the two bikes and see what effect the coil-overs will have on the LSV. Those are Monroe Coil Over Sensa-Tracs - 58497. They mount well behind the axle so, nowhere near the fuel tank. youngfred

... Before moving on to the front-end, I finally installed the LSV with the help of Mr. H's - List of Materials. Thanks again, sir. youngfred

... Front Suspension done. Passenger Side was a bit more challenging because I installed the new Spring before removing/replacing the Control Arms. The axle shifted backwards when I removed the original LCA. Used a bottle jack to push the axle forward a bit, in order to get the new one to bolt up. The axle shifted forward when I removed the original UCA. Used a come-along to pull the axle backwards just a little. Going from a 24mm a 28mm OEM Stabilizer Bar. The old one(underneath) appears to be a 24mm. New one on top for comparison. Calipers and Rotors next. youngfred

... Wondering why there isn't a WRITE/PREVIEW Box available, when composing a new post? (I don't have a facebook account. Never have-Never Will) youngfred

... Want to thank everyone's input on Cordless Ratchets. Picked up the 3/8" - M12 in February and it has now replaced and retired, my Snap-On Air Ratchet. The M12 is a real Torque Monster. youngfred

... Driver's side in: OME spring went right in. The LCA is making contact with the axle mount. I have the frame on jack stands and axle low on separate jack stands. The axle appears to be in an extreme extended or 'down' position. When the truck is on the ground(on wheels), will I see a gap there? youngfred

... Well, The front part of my/the old engine shield was all that was left(per photo). I didn't know if the new one was a direct replacement or how far the original extended backwards. I got plenty of the push--pins. Thanks, youngfred

... Mr H, Picked up this guy per your reference P/N: (old one on top). Splash Shield - Mopar (55174736) With the back part of the old one gone, will I need to trim the new one? Thanks, youngfred

... Thanks Minuit. youngfred

... Been working the front-end for the past couple of months now with warmer days. I installed the headlight harness and added new Sylvania Halogens to start out. I will see if this setup will work for me. I replaced all bulbs, lens and cleaned up the grille and front bumper and then moved to the Front Suspension. Cleaned up and working the front suspension. I am doing one side at a time. Got the Bump Stop and the UCA in, working the LCA in. I am going in with the WJ LCA and it has a round end and an oval end. Does the Oval end go toward the Axle? Do I round out those two high points on the oval-side shoulders? youngfred

... I like these: And these: And These: And these: youngfred

... Weather slowed things down, a bit. New Headliner and Sun Visors Updated Pillar lighting and 4 x 6 Speakers. Here are some before/after Headliner and B Pillars: youngfred

~ Interesting Snap-on/Gearwrench comparison test : https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=A0LEVxykEoVaH_kA4xpXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTByMjB0aG5zBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?p=gearwrench+tools+ratchet&fr=yfp-t-s#id=1&vid=30785b7c66cb1e1c0c8bae2eca78a645&action=view youngfred

~ Yea, I wanted to keep it in good shape, for light-duty(motorcycle) use. Historical Value is all it's worth, now. youngfred

~ Snap-On did not stamp Date Codes on Military Tools : youngfred

~ Vintage Military(1940's era) 6" long - 3/8" Drive. Contacted Snap-On for a Repair Kit but one is no longer made for this model. (Guess I could use it to - Bang-a-Gong) youngfred

~ Thanks. Guess I will have to go with - used. I will PM, if I can't find any good ones (JY), locally. youngfred

~ 91 - 4.0 I will add to the signature. youngfred

~ Looking for a good source for Harness-end connectors. Especially the Ignition Coil connector. (That one, I would rather have - New.) Thanks. youngfred

... ATTITUDE That's all. This old English dude, B. Disraeli from 200-300 years ago said : "Never Complain ; Never Explain." With - The Comanche ; I try... ~ Instead of: All-at-Once try One at a time... My approach is usually, to first, go stake the jack stands at the corners. Find all of the pans to catch fluids and pull the floor jack. That's it for today. Tomorrow, a bit more. And on and on it goes... _____________________________________________________________________ * ...and there I go, explaining, again youngfred

... * Installed my new re-covered Headliner and now, the insides-of-my-cab - STINK. youngfred

... Yea, I remember those from another time and from another place. We had these same Tektronix O-scopes that rolled around on four-wheel blue carts and the probe-ends had a spring-loaded circular clip that attached to the test point, in order to stay connected without having to hold the probe. youngfred

... Is this a good candidate for a tech write up ? youngfred

... Is the upper End Link mounting different for the Long Bed ? I thought that I saw the End Link mounted to the upper Shock Bolt ? youngfred
