Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Today, I finally took the advice of a friend and removed the dealer (or factory) overload springs. Everytime I would go over a speed bump, the back end would bounce two or three times off the ground...but thats what a tree leaf overload will do! Nice and smoooooth now!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Actually haven't done much other than stare at it in the Garage, I don't take it out in the snow I like keeping it on a no salt diet.
So I have just been doing some looking around for some new shoes for the truck, hope to get some before the spring.
What do you guys think about these. Any one seen these on our trucks before.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Glider 6969, nice rims, what are they priced like, simular to the MT Classic Lock rims but black edge. Today I actually used my truck to go get a haircut, man was that a nice cruise, don't use it enough.
