Hey everyone, my coil springs were starting to sag a little from age, being garaged, hauling, etc. So it was time to change them out. I work with someone that owns a junkyard so I picked up some F250 springs for $20 and threw them on today. It did lift the front end a bit, and changed the ride some too (a tad rougher). Anyways, here's before and after pics:
Before:

After:


What do you guys think? I'm getting the alignment checked next week, just to be sure its still within specs. I thought it'd lift it a little higher than they did, but its better than what I had.

 

Looks gooder.
Lemme know how the alignment goes, I'm supposed to be getting 2-2.5 lift coils from a guy for 60 bucks and I know alignment will most likely suck.

 

I know what site I'm on, but i dig the old dodge in the background! I'm not buying one, but it's cool.

 

With some work it could be cool, it has an exhaust leak so huge that you hear it a quarter mile away, it idles at 500rpm and Leta just say the interior has **** carpet...lolol it's my mother-in-laws truck. I wish I could fix it up, it does have some potential.

 

I think the springs might have settled a little or.maybe its just where I took the picture but yea....



Tomorrow ill measure again to see if they did indeed settle.

 

Where do you live?! I'm coming to take a picture right there.
Maybe get the two bricks together for a picture?
And your truck is the t its. Even for a 2wd auto

 

Lol thanks, I think so too. That's a water bridge on my buddy's land, right by where we go fishing. I'm in Ava, MO, about an hour southwest of Springfield. Its really beautiful out here. Check out my front yard:

 

Russo half way between you and me there is an awesome water crossing if you're interested. Nice yard booba!

 

The springs really make it sit better. Looks good.

 

Booba, what year dodge did those wheels come off of? I love the old honey combs and they look killer on the Ford

 

It was an 87 dodge van of all things, we had it sitting in the back 40 before we moved. I had a thread on it over at FSB, link:

Hey thats my truck! Stole my picture haha, and I had some of the wheels freshly painted that would of looked better than the mud covered sig pic
Oh and did you notice if there is anything written on the backside of your wheels? Mine say rocket wheel inc or something to that effect and then 15 x 7. I have been trying to figure out where these wheels came from since I got em and still don't know.

 

Hey have you had any alignment issues since you put the 250 springs in?
I just want to get as many miles outta the boneyard as I can on this thing. With a 190,000 on the motor i am not sure how much I want to go into doing to the truck, I am going to start getting a motor together for when this one does give up the ghost though so
