litterbug will become famous soon enough

yeah. its negative arched. only about 2in of travel lol. but its higher than the back... weird. maybe cause they have huge lift block in there. im looking at some lift springs at a junkyard off a 80s k series pickup. they are rough country lift springs. for 50 a piece. i just need to really figure out if they would fit.

The blaze's wheel bearings wore out. So since it was sitting on a worn rear wheel bearing for awhile, I knew the axle had been chewed up. This is true. So I'm going to put an axle repair bearing on each of the rear sides and I guess when they wear out, ???? I'll need another axle? If I need another axle, should I try to upgrade to the 8 in the zr2? Hmm.... questions, questions...

Put some wire connecters on were the person that owned the truck be fore me just spliced the halo lights in to the head lights, and I realized today that if the blinkers are on the light underneith the headlights blinks to.

well, i hobbled away. i have a bad back to begin with (21 years old with deteriorating disc disease) and have been on prescribed pain meds for 36 hours now. they help enough for me to deal with the pain.

Side note, after insurance agent checked out my truck, i washed it down and scrubbed the bumper. its not a total lose!!!!! a lot of scuffs, a gouge to the right of the license plate and a dented license plate. STEEL BUMPERS FOR THE WIN!!!!! I NEVER WANT TO SELL THIS TRUCK NOW, IT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE IN AN ACCIDENT. enough screaming lol.

thanks guys
