Man this sounds like a really big job. It's pretty impressive that you can keep it all straight in your head. Really looking forward to seeing the project progress...👍

found my front axle, and did some measuring, stock 2010 f350 coil springs will give me roughly 3" of lift, finishing a couple of jobs in the shop, then i can park the moho in front of the shop and start dismantling it, that is when the fun really starts
