I know this is a long shot since it says Friday, but I'm able to have every other Friday off from work. 9-80 work weeks. It's likely I will not be done that day anyways.
Scope:
1. Swapping current springs, spacers, and shocks out ==> Old single 5" lift springs (Jefe donation) and new shocks
2. New shocks for the rear also
3. Take track bar out, cut, and extend it about 2-3". This will be done be sleeving inside and outside.
4. Swap out pitman arm
Tools: I have everything with exception of floor jack(s) and maybe another pair of jack stands (i have 1 pair). I'll get those at some point.
I'll surely work into the evening and left overs into Saturday. I'll provide snacks/drinks/etc. as people show up.
Oh yea....this is on a Dodge truck. 😀 I don't know if this qualifies as member gathering since it's probably late notice. Sorry.

Do you own the engine stand so that someone could say "longer-term borrow" say the engine stand?

I knew I would get called out..... No I don't own it. It's "longer-term borrow" from Jeff.
Thanks Jeff

No problem Josh. I'm hoping I can do a little shakedown at PC on Sunday. Join me for that perhaps?
Received the shocks tonight from Marlin Crawler. Great service!
Start time will be 2:15 Friday. Family leaving town just before that.

Cool!
I forgot to mention I have 1 floor jack and 2 pair stands. Extra will not hurt. Hit both ends same time even.
Also if you have stuff you want to do, then by all means bring it. My little place is on a cul da sac so good amount of room.
Chit chat leave when you want.

Failed work party.
Only thing that got changed out was the pitman arm and new TRE for it.
Shock mount bushing did not align with my oem. Even went through an exercise of swapping bushing b/t old and new. It was only partially successful. hahah So I will get some sleeves made for them as I'm not going to run bolt with only bushing. overlooked this detail at ordering.
So springs did not go in, nor change to the track bar.
Learn it, Live it, Enjoy it. Thanks Jack, Jonathan, Dan, and Jeff! It still helped going through it.

Sometimes hanging out is good enough. Here are a couple photos from the attempted transplant...
