oh.. lol...i took off my spare tire holder this weekend on the tailgate of my bII..man that thing was heavy!!!

 

Should be no problem for a big guy like you, sheesh.

 

and should be able to lift it with one hand tied behind your back....lol

 

I think he's slackin a little too much!

 

DOOOOOOOODDDDDDSSSSSS...what's happening in Montana this fine day???

 

i bet with the tire on it it weighed some where around 75 pounds...but the main reson i took it off is because my trailer hits it if i am turning at all lol

 

so who needs a spare anyways...lol

 

Howdy Ken! Trying to figure out how to add pontoons to my truck.

Don't you eat livestock bigger than that for dinner? Should be a walk in the park to lift

 

im not saying i had a hard time picking it up..i was just surprised to see how heavy it was...no wonder my broncos back end was sagging so much..that and i need new shocks..im trying to figure out what i can put back there to stiffen it up since i will be hauling some loads of junk with the trailer

 

Well that was back when they didn't make everything out of abs plastic, lol. I would think a decent truck shock like rancho would be fine, you can always add airbags if need be.

 

ive installed rancheros before and liked them i was wondering if like i could do a shock from an f150 or something (my thinking is they would be stiffer than anything in bII form) i dont have nough money to convert to explorer rear leafs right now

 

I would think an F150 would be a little bit longer than a BII shock as it has more suspension travel. You should be able to find an aftermarket shock that is valved a little stiffer or even buy an adjustable brand.

 

i will go to autozone later and see what they have

 

If you get bored at work just check them out online, or hit up summit for a quick reference.

I usually go into the local Oreily's with part number in hand because I have had so many wrong parts in the past.

 

i hate going to oreileys...i like autozone much better lol..
