time to grow up..

well i finally have lost all interest of having my truck jacked up. its just not practical for me right now.

i was wondering if anyone knew where or has stock springs for my 2000 F250. I was thinking about putting f350 springs in the rear so that would work too.

heres the other question -

i just paid 2000 for my 37" tires. do you guys think they will accept a return on them? ive put about 500 miles on them, but have had them back to to the place 3 times because they were leaking.

It happens........ I went through all the lifts and big tires with Jeeps. It was fun while it lasted but $$$$$$ and kept breaking stuff. Anyway, CL is probably your best bet. Shipping kills you on tires and big stuff. You'll have to try to sell them locally. Good luck Bro.

Thats a deal that you should make money on.

GL. I too am not a fan of lifts. I like a nice leveling kit and 285s but thats it.

I paid that for my truck. With all the mods I would have went a little higher. But if you want to sell it, it's a good price. Good luck

Can't you just return your truck back to the stock suspension Phil, sell your parts on E-bay and possibly make a little money ? or is just time for a different truck.

i was thinking that too, but there is so much stuff that i did to it for the lift, i would spend so much money finding the replacement parts. then hoping the other stuff would sell. i love my truck to death but i think its time for something new.

the guy i am working with to get that f350 sold 30 cars to my grandfather so i guess thats why hes giving me a good deal. it was a plow truck but i think if i get it sand blasted ill be ok.

What year is the new F-350 ?

If I could find a deal like that I would buy it also. Heck, I paid more than that for my new ATV.

Darn Philip, I never got to see that monster truck of yours but good luck, you shouldn't have any problem selling it up here, plenty of back woods to play.
