Better than sitting out in a field rusting away.

Re: A Sad Ending....

a drop and a rear sway bar wouldn't hurt either.

I agree though, better than just rusting.

Re: A Sad Ending....

I agree with the spring and swaybay and a possible adjustable link on the left front for the swaybay, also a couple good size sticks of lead over the left rear. He might can get by cutting a coil or so out of the left front spring.

1000 lb spring right front 1100 - 1200 left front 200 right rear and 225 left rear cross weight 53% left side 55% jacking bolts on all 4 corners. Of course depends on the rules.

Re: A Sad Ending....

That cat is having fun in his truck... it's not rusting in a field, and... it's not sitting in a heat controlled garage being wiped down with a diaper every day and rarely if ever driven either.

More power to him for taking a cool ass truck and racing it on the weekends.

Lol. So, you'd be the truck equivalent of the 300 lb single lady, with 20 scroungy looking cats, and a freezer full of Ben and Jerry's
