I'm with you, Bob. As I understand it keeps both batteries charged independent of each other. I have a 250 amp alternator and this model will handle it....DUAL RECTIFIER 100 to 300 AMPS (Gen 4.0)

I got the front leave in and it lifted @ one inch, so thinking it looks alright. Drives straight, but the wheel is now off, I can adjust that straight. Something else went wrong with the computer, throwing codes for both O2 sensors. We moved one sensor on the exhaust when he fixed the leak, so the computer didn't like that. Cleared the codes, but they came back. I'll check with the computer guy. 
Here's how it's sitting now, not too bad...

Thanks Gordobe, A lot of trial and error! My vision was a stock as possible looking wagon that would take us wherever.
Hey Bob, I was thinking of you and your snow while I was cutting grass. My free time is all gone now, it's grass season! I'm not too excited.

When people ask how long it takes to cut (we have @ 50 acres of grass), I say from April to October. I love our woods!
Yeah, those are OME mediums (I think) with two extra leaves added. Smooth ride...
Which extra leaves did you add? Generic add a leafs or are they OME leaf spring leafs? I've always been a bit curious of how adding leaves to a spring under set up actually lifts the vehicle.
Thanks. Truck looks great

I had St. Louis Spring make up three extra leaves for the back packs, turned out three were too much, so I had an extra set left over. They re-arched those and put in the front pack. I'm guessing over time the new leaves will sag, too. At that time I can get them all re-arched.

If you mean the one lying down, they sleep (lazy) most of the day and patrol all night. Anatolian Sheppards are Livestock Guardian Dogs and can be vicious when it comes to their herd. I've never had another attack on the herd since we got them.
