Working on that 3 inch body lift... will I need all 16 spacers? Or do they include spares? I've only found 6 contact points on each side

Truck is put back together. I seem to have lost a cap that goes on a vaccum line to allow the AC/heat to blow out all vents instead of just the defrost vents.

I like the way the truck is sitting. I am driving around with no music, and no ac/heat so I can listen for any odd noises. I do hear a weird noise when I turn my wheel so I am going to check into that. But so far it seems like everything went back together okay after roughly 17hours of fighting with it lol

Dang man. Body lifts do tend to be a PIA but I'm glad you got it done!

Well had to make another long trip home for my father. Driving home the ol girl was fine. I get here and the next morning I go to make a left turn and the steering is extremely stiff for a moment but once it turns so far left it loosens back up. Doesn't do this at all going to the right only to the left... any ideas what I should check?

It's the arm that connects your steering box, on your inner driver side frame rail, to your steering linkages.

Could it be from the extension I put in it for the lift? Also I looked it up and from what I read it said that if that component was going out that it would cause slack not for it to stick. I did however lock the wheel out sitting still left and right. Then when I went to drive somewhere for my father it didn't stick anymore for the time being.
