Goodmorning all

Thank God it's Thursday! Only 2 more days of babysitting (for a week)...UGH!
Chores are done & now it's time to find something for kids 3 kids (12 & under) to keep them busy without having to spend money or alot of gas to travel somewhere.
Ok...deep breaths, count to 10...I can do this!

Hope everyone has a great day.

It wasn't the gastrointestinal illness part of this story that made me think of you, but when I heard it you popped into mind because I know you spent some time there : Lemoore naval base tests water after 29 fall ill - Updates - fresnobee.com
Hey Steve, Bill. Yes, it was a great time. Yep, I was at Lemoore for 3 years. We are pretty much an island here with all of the flooding.

Gotcha!

However, my prediction was correct. It has hit the wire now.

Yup. Fall on the sword.

How do I measure my lift? I measured the rear blocks, they are 5". Does that equate to a 3" lift? What about the front?

If the spring has not been changed, a 5" block would equate 5" lift.

In most cases that would be so Bruce, but the Super Duty comes from the factory with a block between the rear axle tube and the base of the spring pack...4" on an F350, and 2" on an F250.

Seems logical that it's a 3" lift in the rear Trey. Other than comparing to a stock vehicle I don't know how you would determine the lift in front.

Don't the stock leafs only have like 3-4 leafs...then you can either look at that or if it was a shackle lift and that's when it starts to look funny were they hang down low and still only have the little leaf pack, or if it has multiple leafs then it was a spring swap.

The Claw was so called because one of his hands was missing, a la Captain Hook. In its place was a powerful shoehorn-shaped magnet.

The Claw spoke English with a heavy accent.

Picture Smart holding him off at gunpoint. Smart would turn to his sidekick, Agent 99, and say with a squinted brow, something like: "Well, 99, I see it's our old nemesis, the Craw."

Before 99 could respond, the villain would break in, growling: "No, not da Craw -- da Craw!"
