The body lift is also coming off during this RestoModing. I love the look of the BL, the frame hides well with the running boards but it creaks too much and I think I'll enjoy the wheel wells being filled with the 35's more.

Here's a picture from years ago when I did the 7700 spring swap and added the 35's. (No running boards) If I had enough Hp to support 37's I'd do it, lol. I love the look of those Arctic balloon tire trucks. :P

Had an instructor at class tonight show us a picture from this Accident scene in 2012.
He gave the "graphic content" warning and said we could leave the room. ( nobody did)

Man killed in tree-trimming accident in Shelby Township (clickondetroit.com)

Co-Worker: Tree Trimmer Pulled Into Wood Chipper - CBS Detroit (cbsnews.com)

Sucked the guy 1/2 way in.
All you could see was a pair of boots, socks, bare legs, and an entire pair of jeans wedged in his crack and that is where he ended.

developed what i believe to be a power steering leak on the ranger, have to add some UV dye and see where its coming from. or its residual oil from when the PCV valve came out of the grommet when the new hose was put in

Thanks, It is too much work as well. lol My truck has the Torsion bars turned up to 1/2-3/4" of the safe limit. I'm not sure what that was anymore, maybe 27.25"? It's been a few years. When I did that, I installed KS springs 7700 equivalent, 5 leaf 2200lbs leaf springs and it gave it that slight rake. I don't tow my cars anymore but when I did, it leveled out perfectly with no droop. It actually rides better towing than empty but that the same as any F250 or bigger.

The factory springs felt like a fat SUV. I may swap the springs out again for a set of deavers but that's a too far away to think about now. Before my focus was Towing my race cars or loading up for camping but the truck doesn't need to do any of that anymore.



This guy showed up today. Time to see what my Cylinder 4 misfire was all about and why it went away. New Ford Coil packs & spark plugs. I'm thinking it was just the harness since the clips are broke. Almost every clip is broke on my harness.

Morning,
11 yrs. ago today I dropped the 454 in the frame of the Vette.



Today I am cutting the back yard grass in 48° weather.
I would rather be working on the Vette.
