Hey guys, so first day back. Got lots done today.
So we got started, tore everything out of the bed. Got all of the bed bolts loose and pulled the rollpan. Then we pulled the bed, that sucked. We had 4 guys on it, so it wasn't that bad but it still sucked.

Here's Robert tearing part of the rear suspension apart.

Then to get the ride height where we wanted but keeping the rear all lined up we found a way to lower it, ratchet straps worked out well.

Then we made some "Suspension Simulators", lol.

There's no give in this thing right now, lol. Also there was a CRAP TON of tension on leaf springs when we let em go, since the suspension was so compressed to reach the correct ride height. No pics of that, it was scurry though, lol.
Then we got all the rear suspension tore off and dropped the fuel tank, and the brace. that is where we wrapped it up for today.

Tomorrow I hope we get all the new suspension tacked up in place and maybe even finish weld some of it. Will also try and tear out the front suspension tomorrow and start on that.
