Got these 6+4 spring swapped into night.. OEM was 6+1.. They definitely had a "W" going on.. New ones should handle the added pin weight with new trailer that is coming in a month or so

Kansas when I am home
Went to cooper HT3 to replace AT3 coopers. Replaced inner steel wheels. Ordered 10k bags to replace the 5k bags.

Moved water tanks around on the trailer to help control pin weight. Ended up getting 1100 pounds nearly off the pin.

Oh and hit a tree with a low limb with the big 48' trailer.... So its back at the dealer getting the roof racks replaced and roof skin repaired.

Adam u need airbags if you are lookin at springs that size man

The OEM handle the weight decently until you got on a rough road.. These 6+4 came off an 08 dmax C&C truck.. Rear of the truck is up about 1" vs old ones
This is exactly same load I hauled last weekend.. There is ~7000lbs sitting on a 13x8' foot print in the front.. Definitely a lot better

Springs and new u bolts I have ~210.00 in them.. I'm really found of spring over air setup in an application like mine.. Like a 4link Keldderman..
Last weekends. Load so you don't have to search...

Started installing my Danville 3794 I purchased from allseasondieselperformance
On Black Friday on my 07 lmm. It's been a couple years since I have removed a stock turbo, but quickly remembered how bad they suck.

3hr is impressive cocoal

Thanks man, Im pretty content with the time i can do it in now...and actually with how my engine bay is set up i can do it in in a little less than 3 :woott:

But LMAO
THE FIRST TIME!
It was more like 8hrs....just to get the stock one out!
I'll tell ya, tossing the turbo heat shield was the best thing i could've done to speed the job up

Spent the afternoon taking stuff off my truck in prep for trade. Raised it back to leveled height and aligned it. I already miss how it used to drive
