Someone school me on strut filament. I've read that I can use fox struts I've also been looking into adjustable struts. I'm unsure which option to go with. Currently I've got coil overs on stock struts and its rather rough when I go over a driveway curb or hit a decent bump.

The new viking strut/coilover kit is the best choice for us imho. Im either going to switch to their setup or get some Strange Adjustable struts with my current coilover kit.

I've been researching the strange 10 ways thinking I might go that direction too.

It snowed here yesterday for the first time this year.[emoji1304]Which motivated me to move all my spare parts from the garage to the shed. Hope to add a few more parts after winter!

New LED lights in the garage. Planning on new rubber, fox struts/shocks, and possibly clutch/flywheel before spring.

Just get one of these bad boys. Once size pretty much fits all.
My uncle had one like this but it was too small for my filter. Thinking I will prolly go with one that has a strap. Looking in the harbor freight mag today at work buying shit I don't need lol

This is the one ive got and Ive never been beaten by a filter yet. You can also use it for other creative things like holding a water pump pulley while you break the bolts loose.

I'm leaning towards something like that this one looks nice!

Really?

The one I have works great for my f150. I dont use one on my mustangs as its easier to get to and I only tighten my oil filters hand tight.

Usually only hand tighten my filters also but last time I was changing it on the ground not a lift and it was a ***** to get off ended up having to put a screw drivers through it to get it to turn.
