With the original Independent Front Suspension (IFS) gone, along with my old 6" lift, it's time to install the ORU Brackets.

With the ORU Brackets installed, along with the 6" Superlift leaf springs, the truck is ready for the axle to be installed. The ORU Brackets automatically give you 3" of lift...combine that with the 6" springs, gives me a total of 9" of Suspension lift.

With the axle rolled in place, Mike starts letting the truck down on the car lift. Notice that Dan is wearing a pair of sandals and Daniel has no shirt on...we're all about shop safety at Van-G Motorsports...

After we were done with the installation of the axle, we went ahead and mounted up the dual Bilstein 7100's with remote reseivors.
