When to Liberty today because i am idiot. Guess I just wanted to walk around with my tools for a half hour and not get anything accomplished. Ended up at Glisson's. Only thing I found today was another D35 man hub. You can never have too many. Also stole a switch off a D28 man hub to fix the one thats on my truck.

Also got my cb installed.

Picked up a set of 32s today for $100. After making it to have them mounted, the tire shop told me on of the side walls are ripped. Now I am out $100 unless I can find a couple more for cheap.

Also found an oil leak on the front of the motor. I am hoping its the oil pan gasket and not the main seal.

Not a very good day.

Look on the plus side if it is the front seal you dont have to pull the tranny to fix it. Hope it is just loose bolts tho if you can get to them.

Had a guy respond to my CL ad for tires. He gave me 3 Lemans A/T 32s for free. Not what I was looking for, but the price was right lol. Had them mounted on the way home so now she sits even.

New tires and a comparison pic of my 32s vs. my 30s.

Installed Skyjacker coils today that I got from 97TrailRigDD.

While taking the tire off I came across this. Damn Pep Boys when overboard with the impact.



Skyjacker coil and my F150 coil and the washers.


And some half ass flex shots. Damn radius arms won't let me stuff the front.



My front end sits about 1 1/2" taller than the back now. Now how can I fix that?

And Greg, on level ground the coil sits 16 1/2" high. Your motor must weigh yours down quite a bit.
