how many times did you have to drive through that mud in your yard to get your truck muddy?? lol
is that furd really stuck? wtf? haha... if you straighten the front wheels it might back out... then again, it is a furd...
The front is higher right now, I plan on seeing if the spacers settle more and maybe even it out better but if not I'll just get a set of blocks for the rear. I got her muddy going and doing that hill climb again and all the snow melted there so it was soupy as chit. The Furd was stuck, I turned the wheels the other way and it was still a no go. Those tires are the worst I have ever seen in my life, the have about as much traction as the old dry rotted and bald Michelin's that were originally on it. Oh and just for the heck of it that 91 Furd only has 54k original miles on it!

Yea, I tried the bfh technique trying to break free the upper balljoint and it didn't work. I just said eff it and went and bought a pitman arm puller.

As of now it rides worse than the 3/4 ton Furd. I don't know why but its like a freakin grain truck right now. Idk if maybe the springs need to settle in or the shocks need broken in or what but I hope it gets better.
