I do not. I got them done at Rain City Wheel Repair here in Kirkland Washington. The owner told me he sprays all the bumpers and off-road things people bring him with this same stuff.

Ah gotcha. It didn’t look like there was a winch in that comparison pic on the left.

Added a leaf to the fronts this weekend. Painted everything. And I don't think it fixed anything.
35.75 to fender on drivers side
36.25 on passenger side
I need to drive it a little still, but I don't think that gets me where I should be.

What did you paint the leaves with? Did you grease in between them or any other product? I've read more than I care to admit about paint/not painting leaf springs and there doesn't seem to be a consensus.

I just used POR top coat. They were pretty rusty given that they were only a few years old. I guess ignorance is bliss for me.

Hey everyone. It's been a while. I took a year off from the truck kind of. Some of it forced and some of it just because of other priorities. Had some house projects for one which consisted of a new roof and a backyard reno. A few new automotive additions and some new fun tools. So here's what's happened, with a tiny truck update thrown in for good measure.
Coolest thing maybe is that we bought a Ranger Rapter.
It's a hoot. We did the ProCal tune to it so it makes 455hp and 536 lb-ft. Really enjoy it.
I bought a CNC machine and tucked it in the back corner of the garage.
I've made a few things on it. The most recent I'll share in a week or so when it's all done. I had back surgery which was terrible. Herniated L4 and L5 that needed clean up. I feel much better now but could barely walk or sleep for the 4 months before the procedure. And the latest thing is this cupholder. I made one ages ago that some of you liked but I did a new version.
So I should be around more now that I'm back up and vertical. Been plugging away at some of the stuff on the LC. The rear air locker is leaking which is a bummer. Also going to do a real simple build out for the rear of the truck to mount my fridge finally.
