Dropped the welder in last night. Worked out great, only complaint is the manual boom adjustments. Involved setting it down, re-adjusting and picking three times to get it situated, but at full reach off the corner of the truck it still picked it right up off the trailer. Air bags kept the truck pretty well level as well. Driver side is sitting about an inch lower than the passenger side currently, probably put my compressor on the passenger side to even it out and then adjust air pressure to make up the rest.

And another random annoyance, I just replaced the sway bar bushings and end links, after a day or so of driving the passenger side sway bar bushing (that mounts sway bar to front axle) works its way out of the strap. Bolts are good and tight, bushing seats correctly in between the strap... Any ideas [MENTION=7923]CTC DEEZUL[/MENTION]? Any sort of grease/lube I should put on there?

Front end is square, sway bar didn't appear to be bent but I'll get under there and look closer. Old one was in place when I originally removed them so I don't think it's a persistent issue. I haven't had time to really go over the truck yet, I just noticed the end links were bad when I bought it so I threw them on with the bushings on the ground the day I bought it. I'm going to exhaust on a lift over by my friends shop so I'll be able to take a better look then. Was curious if you'd seen that before on super duty trucks.

Intake, tuner and 4" turbo back are arriving today :dancingnaughty: Just rolled 384,000 miles I'd say it's perfect time to sendit. I've been daily driving it because my dad has my Tahoe while I'm doing work on his car. Got 17 MPG out of my last tank hand calculated. Not bad at all considering the weight of the truck with the welder, tools, gate, etc...

Got keys for the boxes too, so, I've started putting some tools in it. Need to fill a few holes on one of the boxes from where a top box was bolted through before I put anything water sensitive inside though...

Also, put a new winch on the crane, relay promptly shit the bed so a new one is on the way from not harbor freight lol.

are dems mavericks?

Fuel Rampage 20x10's. -19 BS and 305/55 Toyo AT2's.

These are not mine, they are identical to what I'm ordering. I had a friend swing over and let me test fit them to see if the backspacing would work. This is the truck they're off of.
