    Well, if we can change what a recession means after 100 years I'm pretty sure we can change the parameters of a drought too. lol

    I’m sure something like this has been asked a million times here, but why not ask again?

    When I did my rear spring under I am pretty sure I messed up where I put the perches and am getting some weird bushing wear so I want to fix it.

    I’ve recently moved and don’t have a garage where I can pull my vehicle in and work on it. I’m trying to limit my noise making projects as well due my neighborhood being mostly silent all the time.

    With that said are there any good shops or people somewhere around Santa Cruz that can cut off four perches (I left on the stock ones) and weld two new perches back on.

    It’s a pretty easy job but I don’t really want to be out there for a couple hours grinding off perches and I also suck at welding upside down.

    SFSG. I’m not in an area that typically floods so I’m more concerned about friends/family. Told my folks to move their RV out from under a tree, close all the curtains, and stock the firewood bin, now more or less just keeping myself available with a full tank and supplies prepared.

    Project complete



    Looks like my guess at camber was really close. It'll need some minor adjustments.

    The guess at ride height came out within a half an inch of where I wanted it. (I think I'll see how this feels for a minute before I decide if I want to go down from 650# to 600#... I'm even thinking maybe 550# now)

    Had to order different length limit straps. They should be here by the end of the week.

    But she's on all 4 wheels and drivable. :thumbsup: And, let me just say... I love my fuckin truck. Not driving it for over 3 weeks was horrible. My wife and I keep talking about getting me a daily driver, but I don't think I could handle just having this thing parked that much.
