Good evening everyone!!! Been one of the busiest and crazy weekends at least as far as I can remember... Seems everyone, their mother, and their dog are thieves this weekend or every child wants to get hurt around here. Definitely been keeping me busy...

Should have my Fox 2.0s in the next week or 2 along with NoLimit cold side pipe. Can't wait to dig in and get some things done on the truck.

Met Jim Timber today. We traded rear spring blocks.

The shop truck looks better now.

Just got cleaned up from being over at Chris's (MrCMK) shop swapping out our lift blocks between his f250 and my f350. He wanted the 4"er's to raise a saggy rear and I wanted to drop down to his 2"s so I wasn't raked so much. When we got done both rear ends were almost the same height.


My 2" trailer ball is sitting at 20" with a 2" drop draw bar. It'd be better at 18" but I'm really happy with how the truck sits now and she won't be squatted out when I put some weight on the back either.

Found out Chris is also a good dude. Very pleased with the whole experience.

Not me. You seem to be the common denominator in rear end talk. You and Dave. Now you and Jim. Just sayin'...
