I was wondering if your UPS driver put you on a hate list.

Since you're showing "suspension porn" mine are sitting on the garage floor too! I'm going to the upfitter today to pick up the chassis while he does work on the box. The local heavy duty shop is going to install the springs and a couple small other things. I'm painting the cab and frame this weekend. Mine are also from the good old U.S. I got mine from a spring shop in Edmonton. I'm curious what yours cost? Mine were $950.00 for the pair and new bolts, Canadian so about $700.00 US.

Spring install day.... Got a fun call from the shop.... Springs are 10" too short.

Apparently someone mid read something and I got F150 springs. Ugh

Gabe,
If you paid that much for F150 springs, imagine what real springs are going to cost !

Not a bad spot at all.

Serious long wheel base problems.... Dragged the tank and steps a bit....

Those semi-exposed rocks are ankle snappers. Watch your step.

Yep, the door hit them too.... Running board was on the ground, kinda awkward....

No broken ankles yet!

Its quite now as its pretty hot, but its a popular climbing area, dont expect solitude We got lucky to be the only car there that morning. There was a half dozen on the other side of the rocks.

Lots of cool rock formations! Kiddo did her first lead too
