Hmm...why did they raise it? Because they were factory replacements and not drop shocks?

On a side note. I was driving on hwy 6 yesterday and had to make a sudden turn to get to an exit I was about to miss. I was surprised how well it took the turn of the wheel that hard going 60mph. There was a full water bottle in my cup holder that went flying though.

You must have missed my post a few days ago. I ordered all 4 Bilstein shocks and a new LED for the console. I considered the used consoles on eBaby, but I've seen so many posts from people having the same problem, I didn't want to take the chance on a used one going out shortly after buying it. I have the grille, and I think you said you were bringing me a grille surroung to be painted, and you have the shackles. I also ordered a short antenna.

Pat - I think I need an alignment too. Should I go ahead and do that, or wait until you do the shocks and shackles?

cool, i remember reading about the shocks, i dont think i caught the part about the console display

so you are just about ready to roll then? Oh and i wont charge you anything for the surround if we can just trade for your stock one. I still need to do some prep work on the white surround, but yah.

as for the alignment you can wait if you'd like, depending on what we setup i might be able to do it up a LR of F

He's 78 and could whip most anyone he meets. If he couldn't whip them, he would just shoot them. He has a reputation! He had a neighbor that had a dog that was coming over after his calves. He called the neighbor and told him if he didn't contain the dog, he would shoot it the next time it was after a calf. The neighbor went out and shot his own dog, he didn't want any trouble.

Walked all over the farm, Maggie loves to go and we ate well. Purple hull peas, fresh cream style corn, sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumber, cantelope, hot peppers, new potatoes and corn bread. All out of the garden.

I enjoy driving and enjoyed the trip. Came up behind a nice, red 03, screw and just knew it was Miss Pam, then saw it did not have a lid, and the wheels were aftermarket rather tha HDs. Plus, the last time I saw her, she did not have a mustache.
Nope - not me. I shave regularly!

Yep, they settled a little. Not doing an alignment till I see uneven wear. So far its wearing well.
