Well I finally got my Rancho struts in the mail today. So this weekend I'll be putting those on along with Moog upper strut mounts, and my gas tank skid plate. Also while the truck is on the lift I'm gonna change the trans fluid and both filters. I'll let ya'll know how it goes.

Well I got the struts and skid plate on today. tomorrow I'm gonna change the trans fluid and filters. I have to say the struts weren't too bad but I did it at the auto hobby shop on base so I had all the tools needed and an impact gun was my best friend.

You put a leveling kit on too or do you already have one? Guess you gave access to a wall mounted strut compressor?

No leveling kit. And they didn't have a wall mounted one so I had to use the regular one.
