Decided to reverse level this truck. Got new U-bolts in today. Thanks Jomax for getting me the right part #. Will get the blocks out and get the rear dropped on Saturday. Will just have to figure out shocks after this. Think I might try some 2.5" shocks to see what all the fuss about them is.

I think 175 ft-lbs. FYI those ones you quoted are for F250 with rear block removal and NO top overload. I had to return those and get different ones because I have a 350 with top overloads.

Ok thanks! I’m doing mine a little different than yours. I was mainly curious what you torqued them to. Truck looks good btw!:rockon:

No problem. And thank you! What's the plan for yours?

Mines leveled on 35’s now. The back is still a little high for me so I’m getting some blocks off a dually I think. There like an inch shorter than mine now so it should be better looking after. Then I’ll get some real shocks after that.

Our lugnuts require 165ft lbs. Doesn’t seem to high at all really.

They verified it, the 9/16" u bolts on my '96 are 99 ft lbs so it just caught me off guard.

So not a whole lot has happened. A little bit has though.

Got some PTM work done. Weather has been garbage for a week straight now so Haven't been able to get the truck washed and looking right for pictures so these will have to suffice for now.

Did all the following trim pieces Shadow Black to match the truck.

Mirror Caps, F350 Side Badges, Top and Bottom Grille Pieces, Door Handles, Rear Platinum Tailgate Badge.

Picked up Shones Tinted Tail Lights which look awesome on the truck.

Also picked up a Smoked Third Brake light.

Picked up a set of PTM Emblems as well. They are off being Clear filmed right now (to prevent rock chips) so they aren't on the truck right now but I posted some pics down below.

I also swapped the 4wd Valence for a 2wd valence.

Need to pull my tow hooks and have them powder coated black. After that, all that's left is to get some PTM headlights and mirror marker lights done by Jeremy at Retro Customz. The plan is to replicate them like the screen shot pictures below.

CTS did my emblems. I'm having a local detailing shop do PPF on them so they don't chip or flake like my last emblems did.
