I've about beat mine to death. I have the 4.5 DR. I think I run too fast - could use something better than the Bilsteins and thinking a good King/Fox/DR/Fabtech might be better...
Trying to see who has them and if they like it...

I went through two sets of the DR/Bilsteins on my 4.5 lift before I got the tires to stop cupping. Bad day at the factory.. whatever. I may go Kings. What I'd be happy to know is a good dual setup for the front of my 06.

Let those 4 wheel parts guys talk you into some pro-comp chit.
Have you made arrangements with Pinchy Martin?
I hope you bought the whole kit so I can have the left over Donahoe Parts;)

just like pops... I'm doing the DR Zoo Road setup with the 4 link.
My kit on the truck now is going on Jason's dually.
Sorry there boy. ;)

What about the rear? Does anyone make a pre-runner leaf pack or do I need share some of my soft-ride sandbags?
Not really a scrapper,more like a cheap S>O<B that loves a garage sale.
Adjustable from 7 to 9 huh.That's flat biller territory,black rims and 38s here I come:D

Not that big with the weight. Don't be jealous! :D
Jason did the three hours sleep in 4 days so he's on. Can't even shoot a 300 mag with you around? :(
I'm doing the factory leaves since I pull those gens around. Otherwise she'll squat like crazy. I have airbags so maybe those go in too?
DR is backordered on the 4 link so we'll be waiting 2-3 weeks to get her done...;)

Hey BT
I went to Deaver to look into custom overloads to replace my airbags some time ago. I didn't go with 'em mostly because I didn't want to spend the dough, and wasn't sure if my ride was affected that much by the rears. The idea made sense, though, as the rear springs would be able to move through the range of motion, without being limited by the amount the bag can extend. After I sell the 38', I'll be taking the bags on/off as loads require. Peace-out:D

I wish I could remember how much they would cost. I wanna say not much different than an air bag set-up. Its an alternative that may work.......Have a good weekend, brother:D

I am running the Fox 2.0s on my dodge diesel (similar front end to the fords) and after getting the valving set up right, I am very happy now. If $$ wasnt an issue I would go with Kings. I have been in a couple trucks with them and once set up right, bar none the best. My past truck had bilstein 5100s (dual shocks) and I was actually pretty happy with them, but did occasionaly see cupping.
From what I have been told alot of the fords are coming from the factory with the suspension screwed up and out of whack.

Too many. It's time to weed out the projects I'll never get to. The '63 wagon is up for sale and the baja will be soon. I've got a guy interested in my '71 chevy 1/2 ton pick-up, so it may go too. I need $$$ for the Schiada rebuild. Can't keep dipping into the retirement fund:D BTW, did an email show up regarding a '75 Blazer at your riverkid account? Let me know

Have you ever been questioned by the DMV ?
Is there a limit on non-dealer,non-op,ratrod,project vehicles under one address? I would think at a minimum,you should be required to drain all fluids from said vehicles or apply for a Hazmat cert.
How many dead batteries? Be it vehicular or backup power are on your sideyard? That's a seperate permit,not only flammable but corrosive.Get with the program Wayne,it's time to go green:)

That's why you had to refi,gotcha;)
Did you tell them it's a blue collar tax shelter?
Or,they're not mine.Just helping a friend until he gets into his new place.
What about playing the "Race Card" ? No, that doesn't work when your white
Monster Garage ?
I'll tell my wife she's got to do something with her cars:jawdrop:
What if,you parked em all end to end and welded the bumpers together?

Just a bunch of fart-knockers, holdin' a brother from his dreams:D
Brian B - It is a blue-collar tax shelter. I get to deduct a whole $5 per old wreck in deductible DMV fees!!! But really, it just sounds impressive to say I have 10 cars. Seeing, however, is not always all that impressive. Know anyone interested in a "project" 63 Ford wagon? Didn't think so:)
