looking at your pic makes me realize how many weeks it's been since I've seen green grass. here in the northwest it's brown and dead and we aren't allowed to water it (in my area).

Yep, same here in Michigan. Its been hard to keep up with mowing my couple of acres every 4 days. If I wait a full week, its too long and I have to cut it with the deck all the way up, then cut the whole yard again at normal height.

The canals near my house are way higher than usual and Lake Erie is up quite a bit too. Great for kayaking!

Default raptor shocks

I recently took my Raptor shocks to get serviced before installing them on my
two wheel drive 2010 XLT. I went to D,C. Service Shocks in San Dimas Ca..
While I was there Kurt had been working on a pair like mine. He had them apart. I was able to have a look inside and see the spring ring. Kurt was informative and his shop is organized and clean. I asked if he could do the install and he said yes. It made sense because he worked with schocks every day.
Yes he removed my stock shocks which had a 2" lift on them, also removed my wheel spacers, I did not need either. When he installed the Raptor uca and lca and raptor tie rods and end links I didn't need them anymore. I had already changed my fenders with oem raptor fenders. I did not need the raptor spindels. The ride is smooth and major inprovement. He also installed a raptor sway bar. He changed my brake lines to steel wraped and the were 3" longer.
He welded a bracket that utilized a better position for the brake lines.
I had collected the suspension parts over a few months and thought I should
service the shocks before installing. Kurt gets shocks mailed to him all over
the U.S.. kurt is a off road truck person and has fair prices. My truck is a bit
higher even without the 2"lift. It is a narly inprovement not just in looks but the ride is wicked. D.C. Shock Service 626 252-3566 I will post pics later.
