Default Busy Busy Busy!!

I have been making some improvements to the tow Vachiel!!

When towing the camper 6000 # it sags a bit, and this has bothered the crap out of me!

The Camper


So what I did was remove the 3 leaf spring for the 1/2 ton, and added 5 leaf 3/4 ton springs from the junk yard out of a 2001 Chevy 2500
I started yesterday afternoon at 2pm, got all done except pass side, it was getting dark at 5:30 and was 29*
So I waited for day light and 38* to finish this morning. Man I wish I had a grarge!! :(

While I was doing it I also added a oil change, filter, grease the front end and all new Gabreil Max Control shocks .

Man the ride is great!! what a difference, the old shocke had 2 that were leaking and it was tuff, but man this is as smooth as silk now!
The springs are great did not make it to stiff at all! I am happy now!! ;D

Old 1/2 ton springs, If anyone needs let me no?



New 5 leaf installed forgot before pic's



The old stock shocks



The new Shocks



2" lift but hard to see here



Thank god for air tools!!! ;D
