I'm thinking crank. I guess I need to pull the starter. The oil level sensor doesn't seem to be leaking. I don't think the oil would travel to the same corner of the pan.

Last time I took out the starter I almost shocked the **** outta myself lmfao

Also I noticed that my header touches my frame which explains why my y-pipe was so retarded to install. Guessing that means my motor mounts are shot. I'll probably pick some up in late December or November.

LCA delayed from yesterday. Apparently arriving today. Probably will have the coilovers put together tomorrow morning or afternoon. Sunday I may install everything up front and see where I want it to sit. That will determine what drop kit I buy for the rear.

Prepare to jack the truck up and let it down at least a dozen times to get the coilovers even side to side. Also don't skimp on the anti sieze when assembling them, it makes a huge difference in being able to easily adjust them.

I used a ton when I was doing a mock up assembly. I was too lazy to walk down the street to get on the vice.

I won't lie I am a bit nervous with all I got lol I'm putting full faith in Atomic's genius here. 2" lift coilovers and a 4" drop LCA to get a 2" drop with the possibility to adjust it down to a three inch.
The shock is short as **** though, the rear ones are longer than the front which is weird but I believe it is because the mounting points are farther so I think that makes sense.

My peanut brain can't handle these sorts of measurements.

The only way to find out if it's right is to slam that **** together!

I don't care enough to make myself do more work. If nobody else in the building complains it doesn't exist in my book
