Suburban torture testing the Chevy springs and 4W discs
I lowered my truck today. It only took about 10 minutes and 2440 pounds of landscape rock. Even so, there was still over an inch of travel left before the bumpstops would contact.
Hauled it (carefully) about 15 miles with no problems. The 4W discs worked great, too.

Did you buy them through normal channels, and if so, how much are they?
Ha ha! Sorry for all the questions. I really like them.

I ordered them at a Ford dealer and I think they were about $17 each.

p.s. Sharp lookin truck!

1000lbs. of mulch = 25 bags.
