The spring perches on a 9" should be wider than stock F-1? Did someone mod them already? You will also need to shorten your driveshaft. Still a good score! What ratio is the 9"?

Now that's a good wife.... I thought just being allowed to keep the truck at the house instead of in storage was good for mine. Might have to show her this post about sandblasting.

That and a good line of credit for my wife. ;-)

Not really she would be in there for me too. Hope you feel better soon so you can get back to your truck.
