I'll avoid responding about the governor... I have NOTHING good to say about him or his ilk.

It would be great if SF could get desalinization going and get off of the Sierra tit for water. Hetch Hetchy could, maybe, once again become the valley it once was, rivaling the majesty of Yosemite Valley. But too many Frisco politicians believe that Hetch Hetchy is owned by their city and is their "birthright". It's damned sad, being that they openly proclaim themselves as "environmentalists". Freaking hypocrites! And their voting constituency eats it up and continues to vote for their lying *****. I don't get it... Oooh, I went off anyhow, didn't I? Sorry 'bout that.

Its been awhile

Hey guys. SO I have been trying to find some ways of softening my 94 F350's ride. I've read most of the forum and it seems my spring pack is twice as thick as a normal 350. So what do you guys think about me taking a few springs out?
I want to see if that does what I think it will before I buy a shackle reversal kit and new springs.

Be careful with taking out springs , especially the Overloads, I cant find the Pic but a guy over in the 6.0 forum snapped his springs due to weight, I would think that subtraction would give grater risk's. What shocks and Tires are you running?

Everybody ready for the wet weekend? Going to rain Saturday and Sunday according to the weather channel, and according to the "people that know" it is not going to be enough to help get California out of the drought. I hate moving, but hate moving in the rain even worse.

I'm running 37" tires with a 8" lift on some 20 something old Rancho 9000's. I have attached a photo of my massive spring pack. I have taken off all my shocks and it rids just as stiff with just a little bounce to it. I know its a 350 but from what I've read and pics I've seen these things are way to big.

Wow those are Massive springs ,I wonder if those are off a Military wagon, retro to fit the 350 axle? post that over in the 6.0 section there are a few great techs over there that might know. Jim you still have your air bags that might take some shock out of the ride.

Happy Satty Day Nor Cal! Currently a break in the rain, however, according to the weather channel more is on the way.

Hank, I didn't know your dogs could read. LOL
