Well, there's still a little time left before Moab 2016, so I have a little time to do some updates. I already have the F250 towers and the long shocks, but that was it. Still needed to extend the RA's (to actually gain from the towers and shocks), replace the rear leafs (with something not flat...may as well get new), and replace the front coils (to compensate for the new "taller" rear leafs and fully gain from the new travel). The gathering of parts started today!
RuffStuff was having a sale for their 10th birthday (22% off) so I bought a set of their 1.25" hiems! I haven't ever heard anything bad about their products, but was a little hesitant about dropping $125 (before shipping) on the set...for less that $115 WITH shipping, I decided it wasn't such a salty deal.
I've also done my research (both on Google and the forum) and have decided on springs. Thanks to the thread
6" lift coils, which is best for flex?, I have made my mind up on a set of 6" BDS coils from
broncograveyard.com. From what I can gather, they cycle well, aren't real harsh (won't drive like a tank) and for $139 for 6" lift coils, they are decently priced. Rear springs I had to do my homework on, but after doing my homework (
Leaf springs) I found an OEM set for $76 (looking now, the price went up on one site, so I'll have to act soon.)
DOM material to extend the RA's will have to come later...got a screamin' deal at my local welding shop on the last piece I needed, and there are quite a few around fairly close, so no worries on getting material.
On a second note, doing all this work is going to get slightly easier soon....with all the Sears gift cards and the Lowe's card from my boss that I got for Christmas and my birthday, I've been looking at a MIG welder and oil-lube air compressor so that I can get some stuff done at home and don't have to travel to do so.
And lastly, I have to brag on my wife, who set aside (out of her paychecks) the money for me to get the springs and heims. Not only did I marry someone who loves me, but she also likes wheeling and gets me parts for both of us to enjoy it as well!
