    When's the next time you're going to be at least somewhat close to Northern Wisconsin? Obviously everyone on here knows I'm not afraid of a drive but if I don't have to stay in a hotel to get my truck tuned that would be awesome lol

    Modern shocks are not going to help smooth fifty year old springs.

    Have you seen the size of those leaf packs?

    I just looked up a photo of those leafs. They look like the Deavers I just put in but slightly larger. My back hurts thinking about wrasslin' with them on the installation...

    So definitely worth the money eh? I don't really think the truck drives all that terrible but why not make it better right? Only things I would be concerned with are gas mileage and reliability but those should be unaffected right?

    Good dudes

    It's worth it. Probably makes the truck more reliable tbh
