@JamesPretty ok, I just wondered - why go thru all of the trouble to repair that set up? Why not do a cut off and put air ride on it? The truck is so nice , I think it's screaming for air ride. Also, I don't know how much experience you have with new tires, but new tires will feel "greasy" going down the road until they get broken in so if that rear end feels like its walking around on ya, then that's probably why. I put a cheaper set of Chinese drives on one of my trucks and it they had that greasy feeling going diwn the road for about the first 75,000 miles on them.

I owned a W model that came with the same suspension. We used to have a big truck spring shop near here in Youngstown, Oh called EMCH Spring, and they would remove and replace both left and right rocker and have you out the door in less than 2 hours. Way back in the late 1960 s, they had an old fashioned pop machine full of beer that you got free while waiting. They even could make any spring(including coil) while you waited.

Hi James and Jessica took a bit of heat to get that apart and the big air wrench too. But on the bright side now it’s done and shouldn’t be a worry for a long time. Boy Krystal sounds great looking better every day. Did you ever get that pin out? It’s funny how the paint cans work color wise I’ve had the same thing. Get three cans and they say they’re the same color then the last one you can see the difference. Was wondering who was filming then realized had to be Jessica. Stay safe guys
