I use Neal's there in Peoria. Maybe I'll see you at some local events?

I checked with them when I first started researching an LS swap, they seemed pretty reasonable for a complete lift out. Glad they seem to have treated you right. Maybe, I didn't realize there were many events around Peoria? I've got a lot of friends who keep telling me how simple the swap is but none have ever actually done it. It'd be nice to talk to somebody who has actual experience with an LS swap in our trucks.

Just had our third baby last Friday. May be a couple weeks before I get it ready to install. Cam and springs and lots of cleaning!

Got a new toy for the shop.... Just need to now make the shed a shop instead of a storage unit!

It's a 9k lb atlas from Greg Smith equipment. Just finished putting it together tonight.

Thanks guys! I snapped a better pic this morning in the day light. I plan to get the Sub on here next weekend and work on fitting the 80E and fuel system up.

Nice trucks! A lift is really handy. The only regret with mine is I didn't get it 10 years sooner.

Had some time yesterday and got the LQ9 ready to drop in for the most part.
