I have Dobinsons with all of the overload springs removed. MRR shocks.
They still need weight back there for pleasure

Hello,
Agreed.
Again, my numbers were for stock suspension. Aftermarket is a different animal.
Thank you for the chance to discuss options.

The stock suspension is the worst riding option available. Absolutely zero movement in those leaf packs.
Hello,
x2.
Zero movement but overbuilt and easy to repair. It may be good for the unpaved roads and conflict zones the 70 Series ar usually used in, but not for other applications.

Unless you’re going overland Ozzy style, you could probably take two more leaves out of that pack.

Your only solution with oem set is to be a true contractor. Before shipping this truck to you, I had the chance to load it with tiles or a project and dang this still has some little stiffness.
Have you looked into changing the speedo face to MPH?

The guy that makes those plates needs some Saudi faces to make a duplicate.
All I really try to remember is 80 is 50 and 120 is 75. If you really want to reference more then just stick one of these somewhere convenient.

Just remember 6x. Take 1/10 the speed in kph, and multiply by 6. So, 6x 50 kph is about 30mph, 6x 80 kph is about 48mph (call it 50), 6x 100 kph is about 60 mph, 6x 120 kph is about 72 mph, and you probably won't need to know anything above that. Easy once you get the hang of it, and close enough to keep you out of trouble.
Please let me know when you figure that out!!
I pulled my cluster out of the Saudi 45 to install a Dakota Digital. So I have this available if it helps someone.

This did it for me:
It had been raining for days, so the mulch was soaking wet. Pickup rode like a Cadillac.

Back to this thing.....
I am between major projects so I'm going to prep this 75 for sale.
Lockwood had the underside full of Florida so I got it up in the rack and got it back to Saudi clean

I always wanted to polish this thing out when I was working on it for the original owner but he loved the original from Saudi look. I find it a bit dull so I'm giving this thing a deep polish to see if this 33 year old paint will do.
Washed.
Wiped down with Speed Shine
Round one deep polish
It's really starting to pop.
1/2 and 1/2 hood
Whole hood
Fender and stripes are really popping nicely.
