It's been a while and I've come back to find my old thread missing most of it's pictures so I may as well begin fresh. I loaned my truck to a friend for little over a year after going through the suspension and replacing the engine, trans, radiator, aftermarket suspension lift, and various other parts and pieces and this is how she sat a year and a half ago.

I added a 7 leaf stack of springs to the rear with plenty of arch after bending the piss out of the stock 3 leaves + add a leaf by doing things like this.

Image

This is what I mainly use the truck for.

She has been resigned to a property only truck for about 4 months now due to a bent rear drive shaft from wheeling, blown front bushing (again) due to a bent frame (previous owner wrecked it) and a few other minor issues. However, I am taking her off the backburner to be used as a daily driver this spring and summer. I am going to take the doors off again as soon as I can!

Anyway, thanks for looking!

Here she is rescuing my f250 after it snapped it's front right drive axle.

I've done lost the front left chain until spring!

I'm glad to have Lil' Red by my side when mother nature is against me.
