new front shocks

[89f150drvr]

putting on a set of load carrier shocks tomorrow, suppose to add 500lbs of support, maybe they will boost the front up a bit, i will let you guys know how it goes, ill post pics if its a big differance

well got them in after struggling to get the old ones out, the shock body was spinnging with the top nut, ended up taking the bottom off and working the shock back and forth till the stud snapped off the body

but i gotta say it was worth the hour or so of work, did bump the front up about a inch or so, and it rides stiffer, which i was hoping for

next up, F-250 coils to finally level it out compleatly

I know the new shocks I got when I got my 4" lift made a difference. That thing rode like a caddy before it haha. I need some stiffer shocks though to make up for my bumper... might take care of that this summer.

yea snapping the top off is the easiest, my dad told me to do it, i didn't listen and kept trying to get the nut off and after like 45mins of screwing around, i broke it, haha, only took me like 5 mins to do the other side, haha
