    I really don't know what it is about this truck.
    I've owned A LOT of vehicles in my close to 60 years: this is most comfortable, and enjoyable to drive truck I can remember having.
    Prefer it over any of the 2018+ company trucks I drive.
    I think the next closest was a 1972 international scout. It was so high geared, and parts so expensive sold it.

    I forgot to mention Something that bothered me a little.

    Thought I had looked good, but found one thing changing my LBJ today, that never entered my mind Especially since it's been in front end shop twice: once to have them check everything, and second time to replace the inner tie rods and align it: since I had it. No cotter pins on lot of the castle nuts. Only one LBJ had them, and none on the tie rod ends.
    Only took one picture.
    I'll be looking over there shoulder from now on.

    Plan has been to change oil every 1,000 miles for several changes to help clean any sludge that might be in it.
    When satisfied on that do an oil change and immediately run some ATS 505 through it to remove any sludge that might still be hanging on, change that out right after running it 10 minutes, then go to 3K mile oil changes.

    Little past what I wanted but did the first 1,000 miles oil change at 1,200 mile today, and switched to Mobile1 rather than Castrol I used to use.

    It needed it.
    Hopefully can get preventative maintenance done on cowl fastener today if it doesn’t start raining on me.

    Got the bilstein 4600 with OME 2884’s installed about an hour ago
    Was 19 and 18 on the front.
    Currently sitting at 21.5 inch. Right at level before settling, and it stopped my tire rub on turns.
    Man is it riding so much better. Old OEM shocks wore worn plumb out.

    Had to go get, and replace the sway bar links too cause once again whoever been under it had tightened the nuts down into shoulder of stud, and stripping the threads as nut came off.

    Need a pic of the lifted truck! Tease! :rofl:

    Based on other input, I suspect after a shakedown ride you'll probably drop back to around 20¾" - 21¼".
