Is there an E85 station even around here? IIRC the only ones that sell it are BP, but no BP stations jump to my mind.

I had the same problem installing them on my 2010. Passenger side went fairly smooth, the driver's side was a pain. Took twice as long. Have had them on for about three months now and have been hearing a noise in the frontend when turning into a drive with a dip or hitting bumps. It sounds like a spring noise. Have checked all the bolts and nuts and they are tight. Anyone else have this problem?

Nice truck and in my favorite color. I was looking at a 2010 F350 yesterday in that color.

Then Sunday I had to take the wheels back off and bend the backing plates out a little, I guess I got a little too aggressive with the prybar! Mine isn't making any noises- yet...
Wow, the gang's all here- came up to visit me!

You guys are sweet! JK

Thats a good point, and one I did think of also. I will have to be more careful, but the 2 I hit last year couldn't have really been avoided either. They were just there, like *poof*. I guess thats why we have insurance.

I'm sorry Jeffrey- I thought I did mention that you helped me. Hey guys- my buddy Jeff helped me do the drivers side. Good to see you on here.
