    1st gen lift kits

    He said it rode way nicer, he did tires and bushings etc, he has lifted trucks and for the money it was way cheaper, no issues last i heard, i asked how it handled after all aligned and on freeway and he said it was better then stock.

    DYI Stock Racks

    Personally i would use a trailer, my dutch shepherd with my shell on has very little room, perfect for one maybe 2 dogs but livestock, short of guinea pigs might be tight.

    Mobil 1 Oil Change

    And i so agree with you on motorcraft, they were ok at best and have not seen any info on current filter test as of last few months and we used 50 gallon drums with manual pump that went down but i have never seen any breakdown residue but that is to the naked eye. you can see the pressure in...

    Mobil 1 Oil Change

    I agree with dillard but i check for any discolor along the way, i have never had a engine failure, and even my v10 excursion runs perfect but never ever have i strayed away from maintenance, i see quite a few people cheaping out on quality for cheaper deals and they have issues that i would...

    1st gen lift kits

    Yea it does get confusing for sure depending on truck,,back in the day it was so easy to lift or lower with a block, jeeps you throw some shackles on and a add a leaf and for 100 bucks you were 3 inches and could get 33s on it but my last jeep was a few grand to lift.

    1st gen lift kits

    As the rear leaf gets weighed down it stiffens the spring so you do not get added sag, it will put more pressure on the arch and it will lift it upwards and the weaker the springs with age etc, it will sag more. it does stiffen the ride but very little feed back.

    windscreen problem

    I know that sunroofs have a windscreen but never had one of those fancy models so was not sure, we have used silicone for fixing leaks on some trucks that were rolled to seal and would think the glass shops would do same.
