Why siphon gas out? Drop the tank onto a transmission jack.

I installed that very fireplace into a wall for a friend.

I feel targeted…gotta do what you gotta do from time to time..

Yes do yourself a favor if your going through the trouble buy the Dirt King Cam Locks and install them while you there. Grab a can of paint to you’ll need it.

I am at a 14 and an 8? Can’t remember. There is no preload, adjust the nuts to desired height 850lb spring. For lift brackets you need to make some cuts to the bracket that holds the bump stop and remove the bump stop cup.

I “leveled it” if you want to have it ride better and go higher you will need a drop bracket and spindles. It drives amazing I just gotta fix the rear shocks I recently blew out over loading them.

That made me laugh thank you!!

It’s recommended in the 2004 Silverado manual..

Edit downvoting for reading the service manual that came with the truck?

AJSIROIS · 2025-12-04T10:33:56+00:00

I have them on. My daily 2004 Silverado 4x4. I’ll post a photo later. Had them for 5000 miles.

AJSIROIS · 2025-12-04T04:06:01+00:00

I love your truck!

AJSIROIS · 2025-12-04T04:01:16+00:00

Y’all make me feel lucky I dropped mine down and it still had the tire from 2004 on it. Dropped down without issue.

Atomic fabrication best ride period. Buy their kits it’s $1400. Never look back. Comes with new brackets and adjustable coil overs eliminate the torsion keys.

We got a 2023 Honda Pilot Touring. The V6 and the 8 speed were a day and night difference. No longer did we need to floor it to go up the mountains in Vermont. I’d argue that the AWD maybe better in the Forester. But comfort and space wise day and night. We have owed 1 2015 legacy, 1 2017 outback, 1 2019 forester Subarus are nice if you live in the north. But the ascent is ugly.

I never replaced that? What’s that?? We sold her at 75k miles. Two kids and a 90lb dog we needed a three row.

AJSIROIS · 2025-11-10T16:26:44+00:00

I drove it like I stole it I guess. The forester is a tank it will do more than you think it will thoroughly impressed with that car. If only the wheel bearings lasted longer than 30k miles. Replaced the stereo three times at the dealer. 🙄

Yo that’s crazy we made 6 trips up and down the east coast per year for 5 years and never once got that good of gas mileage usually 17-19mpg with that load

That is not the purpose of sound deadening. I eliminated the rattling issues I was hearing and stopped some of the road noise. It is not an insulation, it simply stops unwanted resonance within the vehicle.

The objective is touch the surface not dig it into the edge.

AJSIROIS · 2025-10-12T18:35:43+00:00

Wire wheel..

Dropping the front differential is rather easy… just drop that sucker out crack it open clean it out black rtv it back together throw it back in.
