I'm surprised you think its fixed and not just covered...

We will see. Either way, I have new seals (including yours) and will be more inclined to pull it apart this weekend. The fact that it is holding pressure is a very good sign.
Drove it down to south Texas and she's still holding fine. Gonna order her first presents next week. Told her I'd dress her up and take her somewhere nice.

Got the lift installed, and its still leaning, even more so now. The driver side front fender is about 1.5" lower then the passenger side, and the rear is leaning a bit as well, perhaps in part due to the front.
I think I will try a 10mm trim packer in the front and a 5mm in the rear. That much lean is plenty irritating.
... and... the oil leak is back, but thankfully much slower then before.

Swap the rear springs. If you used OME, they should be marked either "D/S" and "P/S" or "A" and "B". The one marked either "D/S" or "A" should be on the right side of the vehicle as you are sitting in it. The "D/S" designation is for RHD vehicles, so it is opposite for LHD vehicles.
After that, you need to run it for a couple months for it to settle in.

So did we get it right?
At any rate, Oreillys has a coil spring compression tool for less than $40:ylsmoke:
I was never good at algebra but if "D/S"=A and "P/S"=B then "D/S"(A) on a RHD vehicle should then be put on D/S(A) on a LHD vehicle.
See I told you I sucked at algebra.

K. I'll switch them and see what happens. Thanks.

You shouldn't need a spring compressor for this. Disconnect the sway bar and shocks, jack the truck up, put jack stands under the frame and with the suspension hanging all the way, you should be able to swap them pretty easy.
