The guys at crappy Bison Ford in Great Falls MT says I need a 2" lift in front, I got new struts to lift it not just 2" blocks. At only 2" I don't have to change front end parts, supposedly I rum my tires to the tire recommendation of the truck maker, it is about 10 pounds higher then what ford calls for anyway. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Wife is happy and so am I. It turned out good and as it turns out no need to use the lift struts. The pumper and lights with the recever and all. It did mot move the hight more than a 1/4". I'll return the struts.     ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |
