Ok, here are the troubleshooting pics....

While making a run to the scrap yard this morning Aaron ran into a slight suspension issue.



Swiss cheese anyone?



So we jacked his truck up... (safety first)



Then I had a thought...



Nobody said it was a good thought...



But Aaron certainly didn't stop me...



And Ray was supplying the block of wood and clamps...



Any bets on how long he leaves it like this???

Good morning Andy!

Ready for some rain down here in the 'toe'..

Aaron is learning a lesson in preventative maintenance, like hosing that **** out of your spring perches on a regular basis.

lift block is free to any FTE member. for a matching block you must email gregaaronray LLC so they can custom machine another.

brian where have you been? one post per week is unacceptable.
