Come on Dave, it would be freak'n epic!





Funny thing happened, prior to the run we did my truck still had something loose or banging around in the front end. After the trip, she was purring and everything was as solid as a rock. Just needed to drop it off a cliff to fix her up!

Speak for yourself... Just replaced the passenger drive shaft again, and I blew the other front shock so I'm going to pull the front rancho's off anyways... They can't take the abuse....

Will probably try procomp now as I like the ability to adjust....

Good point...



So I found out the issue with my shocks... Wrong size. Rick is pissed with his supplier as he specifically said 2.5 lift, but his supplier got the 4" lift ones from rancho so of course I was blowing them...



New ones on order but won't be here for a week.... Still going with pro-comps though...they have one specifically for the leveling kit.....

That is good news, I didn't think you were being all that hard on those shocks... my Rancho's are holding up great so far

Exactly.... First time I could see as we were that heavy flexing getting the front tire 3 feet off the ground which was pretty kewl.... Second one made no sense at all..



I wasn't thinking sizing as they installed pretty good but I guess it's obviously down to the millimeter for travel.... I hate being hummerless for extended periods of time.... Thank god my ridgeline hasn't sold yet as I've been driving that to save gas, now it's my daily driver.... Awesome truck actually!

Soooo..... September is upon us and fall is just around the corner..



Thinking may be time to start thinking about another run.... McLean maybe? I know Nick is in Asia so we should have a toast in his honour by the fire....
