nope. i try not to shop at walmart. my truck's been sitting in my driveway being undriven for a while now. still some things that need attention before i drive it regularly like adjust the valves and pull off the exhaust manifold to remove a bolt that got stripped when i fixed the crack in my down pipe - can't get a vice grip on it . now that we're starting to get more light hours i guess i've no longer got an excuse to get her buttoned back up.

Ok John it must be that time for a final date for the trip. The trip will be an entire weekend starting on Saterday and ending on Sunday. The two weekends that look good for this trip. I think a simple vote would be the best way to decide what weekend we should do the trip. The options are the weekend of the 12-13 of june or the 19-20 of june.

just make your vote look like this:

xx-xx

if you do not care what weekend it falls on, just state you dont care.

MAJORITY RULES.

Do you think I will be alright doing just a rear lift with the OME springs? Would it be worth cranking up the stock torsion bars? I don't really have that much money right now but wanted to try to get something going since this thing sags horribly. This is the list of stuff and some prices I was shooting for.

I keep hearing they only help so much and youll need to get new leafs anyways. These things are down to just about straight. There isn't much arc in them at all.

I just don't want to spend too much extra in the long run.

Would I be alright just getting new leafs and skipping the shackles and all that? Maybe just Springs and bushings?

The springs are only like $200

Do you guys know any shops in the area that sell ome springs or add a leafs? The shipping is sucking up a huge amount which I could put towards other things. Though I'll probably lose out on the higher local price.
