Default Oh Snap !! literally

Left for work today, got about 1/4 mile down the road and BANG. Pass rear shackle snapped and sent the leaf spring into the bottom of the bed. Good thing noone sells those except for the Ford garage. I guess she'll be sitting for a few days . I'll post some pics later when i get back home.

I'm pretty sure thats supposed to be attached

it really does suck, it would be so bad if they didn't dump salt on the roads like Mcdonalds on fries.

that sux we just replaced one of those on an f350 at my work and if they are riveted on at the factory then ford doesnt even make bolts to change them out. you have to go find bolts that will work. good luck
