Here's the text for another WIKI article I wrote:

Installing A Replacement Leaf Spring Frontend Leveling Kit

1) Buy the leveling kit. I went with a Revtek kit, since it uses a completely new leaf spring pack vs. an add-a-leaf or mini spring pack add-on. Additionally, the Revtek kit includes a trackbar relocation bracket to level the trackbar and minimize bumpsteer.

2) Put the parts in the backseat of your truck (the springs will fit quite nicely on the floor).

3) Drive to the local diesel shop. We're fortunate in Cheyenne to have a AWESOME local-owned/independant garage that does all kinds of work, not just engine stuff.

4) Write them a check.

5) Walk home.

6) Have the shop send their courtesy van to pick you up when they're done.

7) Drive home.

8) Step back and admire the new look of your truck--you're done!


When it's warm enough to wash my truck I'll take some pics and post 'em but currently it's waaaaaaaaaay to filthy to display in public. :thumbs :roflmao

Writing this was truly an arduous task, but I felt that enlightening the PSD-owning world about what's involved in such an undertaking would be worth the expense, danger, and personal sacrifice involved. Well, maybe one out of three isn't bad... :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

What kind of pen did you use to write the check? -popcorn

How much torque did it take to write the check? -popcorn

Did you break a sweat when writing the check? -popcorn

Is there a pictorial when you wrote the check? -popcorn

How many adult beverages did it take? -popcorn

I think I may have to attempt this mod. Hope I have the strength and ability for it. :roflmao

Bic--black ballpoint.

Not much

No

No

None--I worked the night before and so I was comatose 5 minutes after I got home.


I'll try to--it's warming up so I might be able to wash the truck tomorrow after work w/o worrying about the doors freezing shut.
