Put the shocks on. I believe the ones I took off were Rancho RS500's

Was pretty smooth sailing with the install. Took about 30 minutes to do all 4.

Got to do a shakedown run a little bit ago, and from what I can tell, they are very nice riding. Huge difference over what was on there. The drivers rear shock was leaking so bad it wasn't even funny.

Sweet! It's nice to have a more comfortable ride, makes the drive alot more pleasurable! I've been running some Rancho 5000's on the rear for almost 2 years that were too short, lol.

Yeah man. Super easy. The passenger rear bushing held me up since the post was rusted. Otherwise, impact wrench made quick work

Getting pummeled here with hail and rain. Already had 3" so far and the second wave is coming through.

Got water in my basement too.

Our 1% chance of rain turned into something like that. I don't care for this time of year due to tornadoes and hail. Hails is a pain to repair. Hope you dry out soon. Looks like you got hit hard with it.

That's Odd, I thought you lived in Council Bluff, Iowa? Not Niagara Falls, NY...

Wow, thats crazy, I bet you had flash flood warnings in the area! When I went into town yesterday we got hit with a thunderstorm at about 2pm, hail and heavy rain, but it only lasted for several minutes, when I got home it hadn't even rained at our house yet, lol. Hope it didn't do to much damage to your basement!

HAHA pretty crazy that night. Im getting the basement dried out pretty good. I have a nice dehumidifier down there running non stop.

Same thing here ed. My co worker lives 15 miles from me and they did not have anything in the first wave of storms that came through here. But got nailed in the second wave later on in the evening, where we hardly got anything.

Terry, I also do not like this time of year. The forecast has rain for the next few days up here.

Glad to see you out and about in your runner. I like the stance it has on in the pictures. Just a great looking little truck.

Thanks ED. I want to change them up a little bit, but finding the time is proving to be a little difficult lately.

I would love to make a tire carrier rear and a winch type front sometime.
