i took the day off to go pulling and they cancelled it to only run tractors..... i was pretty pissed.....

oh well i started on my next project.

swapped my big ass mason dump 3500 springs out with some 1500 springs with 3" lowering shackles.

pulled the torsion bolts out and set them at 1 full turn past where they actually contact the key.

truck is super low and towed a 7500lbs trailer this afternoon. a little tough to get dialed in with the airbags (had a lot of bounce) but once i did it was nice and smooooooooooooth all i have is a picture off my blackberry for now. i will take more at work tomorrow.

Thats a nice stance Kyle, Im really considering either pulling some springs or just g etting 1500 leafs because I cant stand the ride. I dont ever tow anymore either so it would be nice. You should have come down to Etown today for the diesel races. It was a good time.

nope this is for drag racing. i can swap out springs in 3 hours or so so it will be easy switching for pulling or racing. i am also driving out to ohio this weekend with the gf so figured i would get better mileage lowered with 265's than lifted with 315's. then a week or so off with a possible trip to e-town then back to pulling :)
