San Antonio

Good morning gents, drove down to Brownsville to the in laws, had some late night brisket and called it a night…Now it’s time for some leftover brisket breakfast tacos! Y’all have a Merry Christmas Eve!

 

Merry Christmas Eve to ya', gents!

 

Oh I know, I try to avoid downtown around this time of year, it can be a mess with all that construction going on down there. It's nice to walk around when it's less crowded for sure. Last night was pretty nice and calm

Have a Merry Christmas Eve Kurt

Sounds like a good time, Sea World is a good time and Botanical Gardens was a pleasant surprise when we went, hopefully y'all will enjoy that too.
Merry Christmas Eve

Mmm Brisket sounds good, Merry Christmas Eve bud

 

I'm calling one done "good for the day!" As always, it was a compromise of visions. Cut all 4 spacers, impossible to work with otherwise. Added 2 bushings outside, 1 inside, that did the trick.




Here we go.



And, I have exactly one adapter worth of lift on that side!




No point in pushing my luck on Christmas eve!! I go clean up now, have a beverage and Eve munchies! Merry Christmas everyone!

 

That last pic you posted those aren’t the correct misalignment spacers you need I redid the front tho. Your rear setup is way different that my rears and what I’ve seen. Looks like you need a misalignment spacer nine the less. I know this because I just rebuilt the lower bearing put a new spherical bearing and figured I could reuse the misalignment spacers but they were trashed. Trying to get some new ones has been a pain. Should look like this just not thrashed

 

After all is said and done, what comes to my mind is that they should have supplied me with, or at least included, the SAME bushing/insulator that was on the top.




Then the bottom would look the same, instead of this



But, that's not what they gave me. So I did what I did. Might send a note with pics to Down South after Christmas.

 

What a pita.

 

Out with the leaking icons, in with the Ranchos. Oil and filter change as well, maybe plugs tomorrow.

 

Merry Christmas

Everyone! ​

 

Merry Christmas to y'all..

 

What version of the ranchos did you buy?

 

Merry Christmas gang, hope you all have a great day with the family and friends today...

 

Merry Christmas SA! Peace, joy, and happiness to all!

Picked up the pair for $400 off Amazon.
Had to modify installation a tad bit, on the lower coil mounting, bolt near CV, pointed down through LCA, bolt near red knob adjustment is pointed up through LCA.

 

Ok, been looking there. Still waiting on shocks to be available for this gen of ford. Talked to a a guy there this week and they are expecting most of the manufacturers to have shocks available come first of the year.

 

The prior year models I bet fit, but IDK, just needs to be confirmed by the aftermarket product companies...

 

In talking with them they said there is some small differences so the pending the production to come around on them.

 

Plan is to put a new set of plugs in, new filters, clean throttle body etc, easier to change plugs with wheels off, lowers the truck quite a bit. Have family in town, they want to go visit the farm possibly today, so not sure when I can safely sneak off back out to shop.

 

Well its just the two of us today, kids came yesterday so it will be quiet here. You will get it done along with all your moving, selling.....
