Cab off engine replacement
I bought this truck a few weeks ago with a locked up engine oil filter was double gasketed then driven till it locked up. so I put a ford reman in it. Pulled the cab to do it cause it's just so much easier to work on like that. Just needed brakes and a tie rod end, I got really lucky on this one. But it does have a leveling kit which I don't like becAuse almost every truck I see with one of those has broken iwe and rip Cv axle boots all the time it also jacks up your suspension angles I'd really like to make this truck awsome to take to the dunes and off road I was thinking camburg uca fox coilovers in front raptor shocks and deaver springs in back I don't really know what to do about the cv axle angle though wondering if any one has any ideas for that?

It really is if you have a lift body comes off in about a hour and a half a few connectors body mount nuts, radiator hoses, unbolt master cylinder, fan, shifter cable, ground strap and steering shaft and probly something else I'm forgetting but it makes it so much easier to get the wiring in the back of the intake perfect. Any one know how to post more than one picture at a time?

If you don't have a lift seats come out in minutes couple chains 2 engine hoists chains to where the seats bolt and jack the cab right off the frame and roll chasis out.
