I guess those pictures prove the lift won't be effected by the work being done.

That's quite the sight!!! Hey, one way to look at it, is that now you know what the top of the frame, and all that hidden stuff looks like. I think I'd be taking a lot of photos.
A shock for sure, but they're making it good as brand new.

Talking with the technician, he said it was easier to remove the cab than deal with the lift components and the suspension. He said everything on the suspension was nice and tight; torqued down and aligned properly so they really didn't want to take that apart. Eight bolts are all that is holding the cab to the frame.

John - I took plenty of photos. Lol.

Oh you got jokes... LOL.

It hurt my heart too. It's really hard to explain the love for a vehicle until you've seen it disassembled like this. I knew I loved my truck, but damn!
