flboy, Howdy;

In the last pic. I take it that you were also inspecting the underside of the bridge
for traction and weight bearing, Would have been a perfect time for one of those
"Look guys ... no hands!!!" moments.

See, now you are just showin' off. Quit foolin' around and put the gravity back where it belongs before the Ranger gets here! Kids these days, I swear...
Pretty country there, wait.. Do I hear banjos? ... :o ..

That’s big enough to make a double lane road across the mts.

McD, Howdy;

Hope there's a goodly sized reduction gear, or you'll just be goin' in circles.

Went to install the Air Lift springs this afternoon. The truck pulls the trailer well with minimal sag due to WD hitch, but it has some bounce I am trying to get rid of. Some roads with dips cause some bounce and I don't like the feel.


In any case, always do the hardware inventory before you start. I would have been almost done and found out they shorted me some key hardware and put in another bag that nothing to do with my truck. I will call Customer Service and see how they handle it. Maybe try again next weekend. Darn!


The Kit for the F150 :

Image


Checking the hardware to make sure it is the correct kit for my truck and it is all there before I start removing wheels and etc.. Too bad it was missing hardware. Looks like an easy install on this truck.

Image

Missing hardware noted... and who knows what this other bag is for? It is not in the instructions.

flboy, Howdy;

Don, hope it works out in your favor. Generally those places will ship a full
bag of hardware just to save time, once they look to see it it's all there.

But you most likely already know that ... :R

When I get the correct controller, and have finished with mods. Then I pull off the protection on the decals, and snap away
