    AL.com said they were closing all offices and stores. Don't mean they are "finished" done but all the hype and cost associated with building the stadium are certainly not going to help matters. Lots of money down the drain no matter how you look at it. When any games will be held is certainly up in the ether for quite a while.

    I've heard mid May to June as a peak. Who really knows.

    December 31'st in China the W.H.O. was alerted to a new type of pneumonia. It was unknown that it was Covid. China starting to return back to normal, so 2-3 months.

    If people keep going places in America it will take longer.

    Evening Bama! First day at work was orientation, training and paperwork. I did get the director job title though, which will open up many doors should I apply for more jobs in the future.

    It was a straight shot from my house to work. Takes exactly an hour, cruising at 73mph, from the Rainbow City exit, to the Tallapoosa St. exit. You're right, there's no traffic on the road at the time I am traveling, which I am very thankful for!

    Yall be careful and be safe out there!

    Passenger side looking forward to the front leaf mount. Plenty of room for the military wrap to rotate.

    I don't know if it matters or not, but did you tighten the leaf spring bolts while the truck was on the ground or in the air? The way your rear shackle is leaning backwards, it seems like your leaf pack eye-to-eye measurement is slightly longer.

    Hmmm, do you think the noise is the front wrap rubbing the hanger?

    After looking at the pics you guys posted I’m pretty I decided to look at my truck. While looking at my setup I noticed that the greaseable bolts are too long and rubbing the hangers. Could possibly be why my truck is squeaking like a chew toy.

    Nah. I’ll take em out and put a grinder to the bolt to take off a small amount of bolt length. If squeak goes away then that’s an easy fix.

    Actually even an easier fix if I can reach it by just using saws all and a metal cutting blade. Worry about all that this weekend though.

    Not sure what I'd do there...besides replace the leaf packs, and I know you don't want to do that right now.
