Thanks David. I ended up just calling the dealer and asked them what to do and they basically gave me the exact same procedure. Fill with a quart, add the modifier, then fill until it runs. I added the whole bottle - to be determined.

Now I just need to find leaf springs. The guy I was supposed to pick them up from flaked on me, so looks like I am salvage yard shopping today. I have a brand new shiny poly bushing set ready to go. Once I have the springs I just need U-bolts and it is all systems go for the swap.

Got the trac-lok axle and F250 leaf springs swapped in today - didn't get too many pics because my hands were pretty dirty.










I'll get a good shot of it on level ground - it definitely popped the back up a good inch and that is with removing the 2" factory blocks

Here's what she looked like right after some moog cc824's up front with the factory leafs:



And here is what she looks like after adding 5 leaf F250 leaf springs, and removing the factory 2" blocks.



Probably popped the rear up about 1"
