Today I need to round up a puller for the steering arm and start installing the new stuff!! |
Hi Coach,
It looks from this photo like you pulled the smallest leaf and then the 3rd smallest leaf, is that correct?
Any plans to put Teflon between the leaves to smooth out the ride? This once was a common upgrade that I never seem to see anymore on our trucks. I THINK its because everyone's into IFS. I'm planning to try that when I pull my spring packs apart for cleaning/painting.
