    I have a Lund Genesis Elite soft, trifold tonneau cover. I am very pleased with it. Very easy to take off and reinstall, which comes in handy for dump runs, etc. It has been on the truck since last winter with no problems. The cover material is made by the Haartz Co. of Massachusetts. It is the same material which is used to make OEM convertible tops. It has a woven twill finish. Looks sharp. RealTruck has a video on the installation of the Lund Genesis Elite trifold.

    Chris I know you didn't ask my opinion but I am going to give it to you anyways. I would keep them the same and keep the spacer in because when you change the setting you have the springs in you are also changing the preload you are putting on the springs so in essence you are changing the spring rate. You really want to keep the same spring rate on each side in order to prevent some strange handling characteristics

    No, please Rob. I am looking for input from anyone that wants to give it. I am constantly learning as I work on stuff with the truck.
    I appreciate you posting. :hattip:

    The same thing happens when you are adjusting coilovers but they are better valved, have more oil capacity and you can do it on a very small basis as needed

    Ya it’s been pretty weird. Reminds me of Florida. It was sunny and pouring in front of my house then drizzling out back earlier at the same time. Now it’s just consistent sprinkles but we got some boomers rolling in now

    I have a buddy going thru a divorce and he is selling stuff. He has a tool set new in the box unopened for 150.00 He already sold the three piece roll chest and compressor but is deciding about his lawn tractor, snow blower and aluminum truck ramps

    I'm beat, and still have to put the kids to bed and check work emails.

    Right after work I came home, got the clan and went to my in-law's house to clean the fish pond. The water was green A.F. and the pump was dirty as well. Water barely came out out of the filter. Cleaned it all up with the help of the two little ones. The wife made dinner there, so ate quick and came home cause we needed to check on my neighbor's chickens. He's away this week and asked us to make sure they are in the coop at night. Then gave the kids a bath, got beds ready, and now the wife is reading them some books. Almost bed time. Yay! Hopefully they'll fall asleep quickly so I can do work, and then enjoy a beer... Or two.
