    Firestone Ride-Rite Air Suspension

    I'm considering installing X-springs in the front of my truck because my U-springs are beginning to sag from the weight of my winch and occasional use of my snow plow. Maybe it would be to my advantage to install air bags in the front instead. It would certainly be easier and maybe cheaper too...

    Leveling kit vs. X-spring?

    I installed my 3" lift with the help of a mechanic or should I say I helped him. It can be kind if intimidating because you literally lay the entire front suspension on the ground, axle and all. I thought it was a lot of work but I had never done anything like that before. There will be guys who...

    Leveling kit vs. X-spring?

    jvencius, You don't say exactly how much you want to raise the front of the truck. Do you just want 1" or 2" to compensate for the weight of the bumper or more? I have a semi-hidden Warn winch on the front of my F350 that weighs about 300# and it really didn't make that much of a different on...

    Ford F350 Tonka Concept Truck

    I haven't seen the Bronco concept truck. Do you have any pictures or a link to it? Does it have a diesel engine like the Tonka? And before you ask, No I haven't been under a rock! :dunno I just haven't been paying attention! :roflmao Y2KPSD

    Firestone Ride-Rite Air Suspension

    Does anyone have the Firestone Ride-Rite Air System(Air Bags) in the rear of their truck? I leveled my truck with the 3" Edge lift and now when I hook up my 5th wheel the rear of my truck sags badly. I know the air bags will handle the 5er but I'm wondering how the truck will ride without the...

    Ford F350 Tonka Concept Truck

    Black is the only color I would consider myself also. Could you imagine putting one of THESE on this concept truck? How cool would that be? Way more then I could prolly afford! :dunno But it sure is nice to dream.

    Ford F350 Tonka Concept Truck

    Check out this Ford F350 concept truck. This truck is unbelievable. I didn't think I'd ever want a new truck but if they put this truck into production I just may have to mortgage the house to buy one of these beauties. I'm not completely sold on the interior but if I saw one in the flesh I'm...

    Porch light height

    In some communities a building permit is required when doing electrical work. Once a building permit is issued you can expect a visit from the inspector. It is entirely up to you whether you follow your local codes or not but you may not get a occupancy permit if it does not pass inspection, at...

    Concrete questions...

    Mike, I agree with Ron. Unfortunately, the most important part of pouring concrete is the preparation of the site it's to be poured on. I've always spent extra time on the compacting of the ground and installation of the stone before the concrete was poured. Drainage is very important. If you...

    Knee Being Replaced Tomorrow

    Jim, You are correct on both counts. A lot of medical implants and artificial parts will indeed prohibit you from getting through a metal detector but your doctor can give you an ID card identifying you as a recipient of said parts or implants. I've got several ID cards because I light up the...

    Time for new Batteries???

    I was sick in bed and didn't start my truck for 10 days and when I tried to start it this morning it barley turned over. It seemed like the batteries were almost dead. I thought I was going to have to use the battery pack to get the truck started but it started. My question is, the truck is 5...

    Leveling kits

    I agree, while the truck does look nicer "level" it really serves no other purpose that I know of. Personally, I don't like the look of the "front higher then the rear". I leveled my truck and now when I hook up my 5er, the back end is way too low. So low in fact, that I would need to add air...
