okay, so i am going on a trip , and in the course of this trip i will be driving to the airport in winnipeg , 3 hours away , .
so i decided to make the Ex a bit lighter,, i carry some tools , and thought they might take away some gas mileage,,
i open the back hatch door and took out my 2 tool boxes, and a few other items, (not big)
and low and behold,, there it was ,, my lift came back that i got when i installed shackles a few months ago,,
i may have to readjust the front torsion bars agin to level it out,,
i bet that will help with the gas mileage thing,,
i guessed the weight of the stuff i took out,, and than i weighed the stuff,, there was just under 240 lbs of tools , and the other stuff was about 25 lbs,,
, and that far back in the truck,,
i was off by a lot,, i guess about 150 lbs altogether,
and we wonder why the springs sag so bad,, ,
:roll:
