Yep, you need a permit to cut down a tree in the city normally, not to trim. I still have some touch up to do but solar production is up almost 5k today and yesterday.

Dang Sam, maybe better springs vs trimming the frame?

Getting there. Dodge has always had solid running gear. Some of the earlier auto trans were not up to snuff and not a huge fan of the AAM front axle.

Stock wheels look good too.

Doing steps on it too? I sold my powersteps as I prefer the side protection of the stationary.

I had to attend a fire department board meeting, so I did not finish.

Chatting with the guys at the truck shop, they told me that my airbag leak issue is being caused by leaking swivel fittings. They do not use them but have some better stationary solid brass fittings. They just gave me two of them for no charge. How cool is that?

So here is the resting condition as of COB, today. I'll get on the bags tomorrow and hopefully, have it ready for the alignment shop.

After the U-bolt thing, I was able to proceed, and managed to get the first, then the second Lift block installed with the new hardware.

Very quickly, I noticed the warehouse guys sent me the wrong U-bolts, so I had to go out and have some made up for me. Having to take a couple of hours to chase down the U-bolts effectively killed any chance I had of finishing the install today...

In the box, you can see the Carli-supplied U-bolt, and the one I just took off my truck. They are the same length!

So is life, no big deal.

As is usual, the dog chose a spot that was in the way of everything...

I throw boxes and trash on him thinking it will startle him, but he never moves...

They sent me the rear shocks, lift blocks and U-Bolts.

The shocks have a lot of gas pressure. I'm talking getting a jack to compress them!

Today I got after the rear suspension (again).

Before adding the Carli stuff, the rear is about level with the front.

96" would speed up my mowing a bunch. I have a 60" now

JR, isn't that against the law out there in California. Killing that tree like that, LOL

Sam,  from what I can see those look like they will make some nice slabs
