    Don't give anybody any ideas. :mudding:


    I installed new Dobinsons leaf springs today. Took longer than I thought it would. We had to go out for breakfast. A unexpected trip to Fleet Farm. We had a power outage when a storm came through. A definite improvement in ride.
    Front coils get done tomorrow.

    Instead of using the coil spring compressor death tools. Use you truck to change coils. (Not the best video but use for reference)
    https://youtu.be/uQ9oW-VNWWo

    This is how I did mine when I swapped to heavier coils. It was super easy and quick.

    Yes you can. When I originally ordered I never thought I'd be adding the extra weight of skids, sliders, bumpers, winch, and the list goes on.....

    Whelp I'm sad - my transfer case skid plate...I mean, sticker...isn't compatible with the aftermarket exhaust I have.

    There's a supplied support arm that's supposed to connect to the frame rail via a ubolt. Unfortunately, the exhaust is right in the way due to routing inside the frame rail; probably something I should've clarified with the shop.

    20230723_131247.jpg 20230723_131257.jpg

    Time to look into alternatives.

    Guess it's back to a show piece..... lol


    Really though, it's always something. I went to put my Skid plates back on yesterday and found that the Marlin crawler LCA braces that I welded in cause some interference. So cue 4-1/2 grinder and cutoff wheel.

    Agreed, you're bound to encounter something when modifying vehicles. I do as much research as I can for the 80, but these things happen.

    I do have a different piece of armor coming that I know will fit, though...
