I've been procrastinating a bit. Scott wants to help with the VSS job, so now I get to wait until he is available on a weekend! I purchased a new tool and it arrived today. Schley Universal Valve Spring Compressor (SCH91400B). Got it off of Amazon for $115 shipped. Considering all of the broken Mitsus that find their way to my house, its about time I bought my own vss tool!

Talked to OME today about which spring they recommend for my needs. They said the regular duty rear spring will be good for my loaded truck with camper. I'll be ordering the new suspension soon.

Does anyone have a pic of a 2.5gen with a 1.25"OME lift on 33's? I'm dying to know what my truck is going to look like!

In regards to the running boards, my wife and kids use them a lot but I don't think I want to keep them with the 33's. I think I've found a compromise. I notice I can remove the skins and keep the skeleton attached. This will clear the wheel wells, but keep the steps out the side. Has anyone tried this? Thanks for looking.

Thanks for looking.
