I talked to the guys at LC and Ted Stanwood, they say everything sounds fine....i was just paranoid. To answer questions about the front end, its a JC Engineering 2wd & steering kit with a King 2.5" race series coilover. Im currently getting 14" of travel

I bought one of these when I still had a 3.0 in my truck and when I saw the plastic elbow and electrical conduit nut I knew this wasn't good. I found a rubber grommet that fit the hole perfectly, then turned, drill and tapped some Delrin rod to replace the part of the elbow that goes into the air cleaner. I milled some wrench flats on the part outside of the air cleaner and screwed in a brass barbed elbow fitting for the hose. Inside, a clevis pin and washer is safety wired to keep the new elbow fitting from coming out. I also used nut retainers and safety wire to bolt on the VAFM. The fitting I made for it also seals that area, unlike the elbow supplied by Downey.
I would forget about welding this thing. I did some machining to it to make it fit and it had lots of small voids in it. The casting is a little on the mediocre side.

You mean LC engineering...not JC. I looked at there kits and they are spendy. Screw that. Truck looks great though
