For my walmart CDs, I usually like to use some #5 lead thrown at it, same principle as putting BBs in the tire for balancing.

> But explain to me how my diesel can light up the same size tires with minimal hop

The rear springs are probably rated twice as much as the F-150, they are so stiff they are not going to bend. Plus, the F-350 hangers are usually set up differently then the 1/2 tons.

Muffler bearings are the most over looked component on the automobile today! even jiffy lube forgets to lube them! it was shown that 9 out of 10 vehicles on the road have muffler bearings about to go out or already out! astonishing figures!
