So close....this was almost the world's easiest install. Turns out the stud is the same metric size and pitch as the threaded holes in the bottom of the frame.

Buuuut, I'll need to make a landing pad if I decide to install up front.

So, I'll see how they rlook out back before I bust out any spark makers (and the hose )


Too damn hot for getting deep into anything today. Might just glue some sticks together and see if it becomes a guitar.

Well, I went to test fit and 10 minutes later they were installed. Guess I can't complain too loudly.

I'll figure out a plan B for the front.

Now. Nobody tell Mel I've increased this things load capacity...

Me saying they were only half ton springs is the only reason she hasn't filled it to the tits with horsehit.

ya, #1800 lbs of manure is what the airbags on the tundra is for at my place

We have a trailer for that kind of thing but Ive already done a half dozen bark mulch loads with this.
I drew the line at manure.

Seaweed is the true killer of frames. Good thing I sold that hilux just in time.

Went for a long ride in it yesterday, wasn't thrilled with it. The blue things were just a bit too close out back and were making it bouncy.

To move them further away would be a lot of work, and if I'm going to do a lot of work it'll be to fit proper airbags. Which I kinda want to do anyway.

So. Back to the front.

Think I have them just about right. Couple inches away, and even if they contact they should be squishier with all the weight.

No, that is not a hockey puck underneath

Dunno if I'll leave the landing pad there. I'll think about that another day. It time.

Suppose I should mention that pic is with that side jacked up as far as I could go before headache rack touched the garage door.

I'd probably have to do a proper Dukes of Hazzard to get that to actually touch

I'll test it on a speed bump at a high rate of knots when the rain stops. Hopefully that's a week from now.
