No real updates here on the truck, I got a good bit of work done on my drawer, bench section, but then I ended up having to have a third knee surgery on that same knee. 3 in 3 years.. all because of one piece of lost cartilage, who would have thought.. So I have been recovering from that and thinking about whats next. Also thanks for the gearbox leak comments, have to get to that eventually.
First I want to finish the drawer bench seat and pull out table. Going to cover it with 1 in dense foam and carpet on top, stain and poly on the sides and bottom. Anyone think I shouldn't polyurethane my friction points in the drawer, specifically the top of the drawer?
I am also figuring its time to replace my rear springs. It's what I should of done when I bought those air bags I think. They don't seem to work that well.
I already am running a 1 in spacer in the rear and wouldn't mind keeping it for even more lift, so my question is how much height do you guys think I would gain if I went with z71 springs vs H2 springs? And which ones are stiffer, the H2?
For reference, the pop top, canvas and hardware probably weighs close to 300 lbs. Maybe 250Lbs (wish I weighed it all when it was done) The bench/drawer and storage box could be another 200 lbs with gear. And sometimes I carry my dirt bike or harley on my hitch carrier. So it usually sags quite a bit, even with the airbags when the hitch carrier is on and loaded. Seems to even sag a bit when I load it up for camping as well. Add a couple people and its a guarantee.
