    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    stacking lifts is bad and at 3.5" up front will eat CVs unless you are using a DB lift.

    In my case, I didn't plan on it leveling out, just didn't plan on the rake getting worse.

    You sir.....Are a genius. I don't know why I thought it was going to be level but I did?[​IMG] Does the truck look like it sits with a factory rake as it is? Seems a little lower in the front than factory. Rides really nice though. I was expecting a much stiffer ride. I have a really slight vibration I can feel in the pedals between 30-40 MPH that I will try to fix tonight with a driveline spacer. It's not much at all though.

    Pretty nice. Doesn't even look like its sagging at all. All I had in mine was big logs...They were dense and stacked but never thought it could snap both sets of leafs. Looks like you prob had more in yours than I had in mine.

    Can anyone send me a link or point me in the right direction for putting on the Center pin collars on the leafs. I have search and found several threads but the link they refer to does not exist anymore and I get an error when I click on it.
    Basically I just pull the center pin out put on the collar (washer extender, whatever the next guy calls it) and throw the center pin back through the leafs, done?
