    Speaking of springs.. unloaded these new Expos are very bucky when i drive on the street.. Ive got the shocks set to the lowest setting, that's helped some.. but damn.. my coffee is spilling!!

    Ive got a full size spare and tire carrier being built.. and a couple other goodies.. I know from taking the stock parts home that weight changes the springs dramatically.. which is exactly what All Pro said would happen.. under load, these springs are like butter.. and no sag..

    I hate to spend the cash on the , oh ya, I better not mention it or Dougy will get me....but the other guys springs ( wink) just seems all my read points to one type, I dont tow as I have a Superduty for that. my only concern is it will be too much of a lift in the rear.

    Awesome, I have a 1/4, but its a tad too heavy, I crawl but have yet to need a HD skid like that so I ordered a set from Relentless, I wish I would had known you were making them as I try to support locals first.

    BTW, being a design Engineer I have access to 3d modeling software and such, plus a bitching machine shop. started making hi-lift jack mounts today at lunch time, bar mount and bed mount.

    Right on, I'd like to see your mounts, I did some key locking knob style ones recently too. Designing/making your own stuff is great.
    I actually manage a machine / fab+weld shop and we have design guys on staff so it makes it nice. I've been a toolmaker/machinist for nearly 20 years now. I'm just now starting to get into the truck parts and really having fun with it, when there's actually time to do it.

    stock for now
    I picked up some fox 2.0's with the resi. As I'm installing them I realize that when I brought my truck to amaricas tire down in palm desert to get my tire fixed, they didn't mount my spare back up!!! Those motherfuckers!!! I hope this is why My rear end is riding like shit, it's so stiff, even off road. I didn't realize the weight of the spare helped so much.
