What springs did you end up going with?

ORD customs. 4" lift with the center pins moved 1" forward on the fronts. Just got an email from ORD saying my springs are in process and should ship out any day now!

I was surprised as well. Guess being up in the mountains has it's advantages.

Thanks man. I'm working on it. I'm deemed essential so I'm still going to the office. I'm trying to convince my wife to work on it while I'm gone but she keeps saying no haha.

Still no word on the springs shipping. I'm sure they got caught up in this mess. So I ordered a trans governor calibration kit, new cover for it, an adjustable modulator, and a new detent cable. Tired of this transmission shifting at 3500rpm at full throttle.

Got the transmission parts in as well as a stock steering arm that'll work with my new lift.

Tinkering around today. Yanked the factory oil cooler and trashed it. Yanked the fan shroud and realized it was cracked in several places and held together by RTV. Explains some of the noise I was hearing. Also checked out the upper radiator mounts and it looks like I need new bushings. Looks like I'll be ordering more parts.
