Added my new front plate that took three weeks to get here.

F250 gas gets a torqueshift G. That's it.

Also had to cut 1" off the ends of each U-bolt so my deep well 24mm socket would still reach to tighten the nuts back up. Should still be enough threads on the U-bolts to reinstall the original blocks if I or the next owner desires.
Seems like this is a great solution if I want to be more level but not lift the front. Would like to see pics of how this turned out if you have any.

Busy with the new rig.

2017 F-350 SCSB SRW 6.7L Lariat

I spent several hours under the rear end this weekend removing the tall spacers with the shorter ones from a 2016.

I installed Husky rear wheel liners as long as I had the truck jacked up

I installed a hose clamp on the tailgate to deter theft.

I also added a zip tie to the cables on the firewall on the passenger side of the truck to keep them off the motor.

Next projects are front wheel well liners and a bug shield for the hood.

The spacer is the black block with the arm that would hit the yellow bump stop if the axle moved up enough. The block below it that the brake line bracket screws to remains, so there is actually more than 2" between the axle and spring. I didn't bother to take a picture of the truck from the side as it still looks a bit ungainly with the 18" wheels/tires in the huge wheel wells, but the rear did drop the expected 1½". Should help when I get my trailer.

Actually did this yesterday on the Labor Day Holiday. But I used my truck to pick up the lumber and build my wife a potting table.




Finished product:

Finally got the B&W turnover ball installed and hooked up the trailer for the first time! My husband is going to take it out for the maiden voyage with our daughter's pony because I broke my right foot and won't be driving for a very long time.

Today I prepared for Hurricane Irma by hauling 3,000# of sand to my house to protect against potential floods.
