Let it SNOW

I love the snow and having an X is a one of a kind experience!! We here in Chicago can use more snow this year. I plow for side cash so more snowfalls would be nice. We have about 8 weeks left for a good storm but a foot would be cool!
I just had Spring Align in Palatine IL install Add a Leaf to the front of my 2005 X. It has 162K miles and the front was looking fatigued and saggy. The 3rd spring lifted the front 2" and gives the front 700lbs more carry capacity. It rides better than new and I cant wait to try it with the plow next time is snows

Excursion Front Spring add-a-leaf

Today I had a the front end of the X given a little support with an Add-a-leaf Kit from Spring-Align in Palatine Illinois. The 3rd leaf to the stock front set gives the X (with 163K miles) a nice 700 lbs of extra carry capacity and 2" of lift. It rides like new again. See pics of the before and after. Bilstein 5100 series shocks coming soon.

Good Old Tudor & C at 4:40pm I hope this snow keeps up like they are calling for. I have not fired up my F-250 and snow plow in months!
