Finished prepping the Travel Trailer for our first outing tomorrow, I need to wash the Ex but the dang pollen is so thick it just leaves yellow spots all over everything.

Still too much salt hanging around to bring it out Andy? Most of our salt and brine is gone, so as long as its dry out I feel safe to take the EX out, I used it drag the utility trailer to Home Depot for 20 bags of red mulch, will need to make another similar run this week sometime.

Picking up and prepping our trailer to go camping a couple nights by the Reagan Library. Was going to wash Ex yesterday but there is a chance of rain next few days so will wait until our return.

First we go to Mass and celebrate.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!

Spring question. Having them done tomorrow. Got a great deal. My ATS springs seen here. So, do I leave the 'helper' spring as shown or do I have the guys take that off and use the 'slapper' spring thats on the truck?? I assume the latter. Dropping off in the morning. Thanks.

I left mine as shown. You can add the slapper sort of like Tom did by cutting it up. You won't need it though unless you want more height.

Agreed, Keep that big fat bottom plate on the new springs and you can leave the factory slapper traction bar out of the mix, the new springs don't need the slapper bar unless you want the extra height.
I cut my slapper bar up and used 2 sections of it on each side for additional ride height, while unloaded it sits pretty a$$ high now.

Well I've had some pretty bad health issues since Friday... They became intolerable tonight and I had to go to the ER. Long story short I have a kidney stone, yipee. The good news, it's almost done and the pain meds they put me on are amazing. The bad news, there is another one getting ready to come down and join him

Sorry to hear that, try not to use all the meds. Be well, my friend.

Ugh, had one stuck a few months ago. They had to go in after it. That was not cool. Hope you feel better soon.

All the salt and brine was washed away and clear. I used the X once to move a car and a boat and stuff one day and then I put it away before the last snow we got around a week ago now. I didn;t think they would but they did salt ALL the roads again. So now I wait for rain again.
