Well the tire shop told my the rims weren't very good an they had a bad wobble to them. (the rims are not hub centric... That's how they ballance them) but once i got them on the truck they don't seem bad at all. They're not overly loud either on the highway. I mean I can hear them but not much

Got two shiny new batteries for the diesel! The old ones were dated back to '98 so I have no clue how they were still working! I'm going to have to at least replace the nuts on the battery terminals since a few of them are literally half gone!

Now I'm just waiting for my next paycheck, to sell my other truck, or to win the lotto to buy new front leaf springs (old ones are sagging), and shocks for all four corners (I think the ones on it are original!).

I have the same ones...IIRC, $70 from LMC truck....

I actually dont know. Ill see if there is a part number on it tomorrow. They have been on the truck since we got it. They are supposed to be on all of the fenders but the truck was side-swiped years ago and they couldn't find a new one when it was fixed.

Cool to see somebody else running 33x12.5's on stock Ford rims. Nice Flareside by the way.

Good luck with those rad arm bushings. They are a PITA.

Hey Evan, how do you find the tires for running? Do you have any lift at all?

I soaked my 4x4 ones with Seafoam DeepCreep...

Gonna soak the ones on Michelle tomorrow...

Get things started....

Midnite1987 03-31-2012 12:28 AM

When I did my radius arm bushings the brackets were already bolts on so that part was easy no rivets to cut but I had to "rebuild" one. The brackets. The ring the bushing sits on rusted off. I could probably use new radius arms the ends were worn down quite a bit but I didn't have the cash at the time
